Big wheel keep on turning
We always do it nice and rough
And we're rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Proud Mary keep on burning
Rolling on the river
I left a good job in the city
Proud Mary keep on burning
Then we're gonna do the finish rough
Working for the man every night and day
Worrying 'bout the way that things might have been
And we're rolling, rolling
Say, we're rolling, rolling
And we're rolling, rolling
(Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river)
'Til I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen
Big wheel keep on turning
Rolling on the river
Tell me one more time
Nice and easy but there's just one thing
Left a good job in the city
And we're rolling, so we're rolling
We're rolling on the river
Say, we're rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river, the river
Big wheel keep on turning
You see, we never ever do nothing nice and easy
This is the way we do 'Proud Mary'
Listen to the story
And we're rolling and we're rolling
(Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river)
Rolling on the river
If you come down to the river
And we're rolling on the river
I tell you, we're rolling, rolling
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
(Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river)
But I never saw the good side of the city
I bet you gonna find some people who live
Big wheel keep on turning
Until I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen
Worrying 'bout the way things might have been
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
And I pumped a lot of tane down in New Orleans
Big wheel keep on turning
People on the river are happy to give
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
(Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river)
Rolling, rolling
And we're rolling on the river
I cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
So we're gonna take the beginning of this song and do it easy
I pumped a lot of tane down in New Orleans
Working for the man every night and day
Proud Mary keep on burning
Proud Mary keep on burning
But I never saw the good side of the city
Rolling on the river
Proud Mary keep on burning
And you don't have to worry if you got no money
