|
Left a good job in the city |
|
Working for the man ev'ry night and day |
|
Then I never lost a minute of sleep |
|
When worrying 'bout the way that things might have been |
|
Big wheels keep on turning |
|
Proud Mary keeps on burning |
|
Rolling, rolling, rolling 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 wheels keep on turning |
|
Proud Mary keeps on burning |
|
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river |
|
If you come down to the river |
|
Betcha gonna find the people who live |
|
You don't have to worry though you have no money |
|
People on the river are happy to give |
|
Big wheels keep on turning |
|
Proud Mary keeps on burning |
|
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river |
