Left a good job in the city |
Workin' for the man ev'ry night and day |
And I never lost one minute of sleepin' |
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been |
Big wheel keep on turnin' |
Proud Mary keep on burnin' |
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river |
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis |
Pumped a lot of 'tane down in New Orleans |
But I never saw the good side of the city |
'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen |
Big wheel keep on turnin' |
Proud Mary keep on burnin' |
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river |
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river |
If you come down to the river |
Bet you gonna find some people who live |
You don't have to worry |
'cause you have no money |
People on the river are happy to give |
Big wheel keep on turnin' |
Proud Mary keep on burnin' |
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river |
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river |
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river |
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river |
