Lyrics

[00:00.00] Tina Turner - Proud Mary (1993 Version)
[00:01.00]
[00:02.00]
[00:03.00]
[00:04.50] You know, every now and then
[00:08.91] I think you might like to hear something from us
[00:12.42] Nice and easy but there's just one thing
[00:19.07] You see, we never ever do nothing nice and easy
[00:26.04] We always do it nice and rough
[00:31.71]
[00:32.70] So we're gonna take the beginning of this song and do it easy
[00:39.09] Then we're gonna do the finish rough
[00:43.57] This is the way we do 'Proud Mary'
[00:47.27] And we're rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
[00:55.96] Listen to the story
[00:57.25]
[00:58.37] Left a good job in the city
[01:03.00] Working for the man every night and day
[01:08.35] And I never lost one minute of sleeping
[01:13.56] Worrying 'bout the way that things might have been
[01:18.59]
[01:19.48] Big wheel keep on turning
[01:23.82] Proud Mary keep on burning
[01:29.31] And we're rolling, rolling
[01:34.70] Rolling on the river
[01:39.35]
[01:40.51] Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
[01:44.94] I pumped a lot of tane down in New Orleans
[01:50.69] But I never saw the good side of the city
[01:55.99] Until I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen
[02:01.00]
[02:02.01] Big wheel keep on turning
[02:05.99] Proud Mary keep on burning
[02:11.58] And we're rolling, rolling
[02:16.86] Rolling on the river
[02:21.63] Say, we're rolling, rolling
[02:27.13] Rolling on the river
[02:35.05]
[02:44.63] I left a good job in the city
[02:48.35] Working for the man every night and day
[02:51.66] And I never lost one minute of sleeping
[02:54.41] Worrying 'bout the way things might have been
[02:56.80]
[02:57.62] Big wheel keep on turning
[03:00.06] Proud Mary keep on burning
[03:02.87] Rolling, rolling
[03:05.78] Rolling on the river
[03:08.26] Say, we're rolling, rolling
[03:11.19] Rolling on the river, the river
[03:15.39]
[03:28.38] I cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
[03:32.19] And I pumped a lot of tane down in New Orleans
[03:35.32] But I never saw the good side of the city
[03:38.17] 'Til I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen
[03:40.57]
[03:41.50] Big wheel keep on turning
[03:43.68] Proud Mary keep on burning
[03:46.65] And we're rolling, so we're rolling
[03:49.23] And we're rolling on the river
[03:51.95] I tell you, we're rolling, rolling
[03:55.03] We're rolling on the river
[03:57.43]
[04:12.26] If you come down to the river
[04:15.66] I bet you gonna find some people who live
[04:18.71] And you don't have to worry if you got no money
[04:21.66] People on the river are happy to give
[04:23.66]
[04:24.64] Big wheel keep on turning
[04:26.92] Proud Mary keep on burning
[04:29.54] And we're rolling and we're rolling
[04:32.58] And we're rolling on the river
[04:34.65] Tell me one more time
[04:36.30] (Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river)
[04:39.12]
