Proud Mary

Left a good job in the city a workin' for the man every night and day

And I never lost a minute of sleep

While worryin' bout the way things might have been

The big wheels keep on turnin' Proud Mary keeps on burnin'

Rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis copped a lot of cane down in New Orleans

But I never saw the good side of the city till I hitched a ride on a river boat queen

The big wheels keep on turnin'...

If you come down to the river I bet you gonna find the people who live

You don't have to worry if you have no money people on the river are happy to give

The big wheels keep on turnin'...

Rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river
