"Proud Mary" Lyrics

I left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
But I never lost one minute of sleep
When I was worrying 'bout the way that things might have been.

Big wheel keep on turning.
Proud Mary keep on burning.
And we're 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
Till I hitched a ride on the river boat queen.

Big wheel keep on turning.
And the Proud Mary keep on burning.
So we're rolling
Rolling, yeah
Rolling on the river.

I said rolling
Rolling,
Rolling on the river.

I left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
But I never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worrying 'bout the way that things might have been.

Big wheel keep on turning.
Proud Mary keep on burning.
Rolling
Rolling
Rolling on the river.

I said we're rolling
Rolling,
Rolling on the river.

I cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis.
I pumped a lot of 'tane down in New Orleans.
But I never saw the good side of the city
Till I hitched a ride on the river boat queen.

Big wheel keep on turning.
Proud Mary keep on burning.
Rolling
Rolling
Rolling on the river.

Rolling
Rolling,
Rolling on the river.

Now 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.

Big wheel keep on turning.
Proud Mary keep on burning.
Rolling
Rolling
Rolling on the river.

Rolling
Rolling,
Rolling on the river.

Rolling
Rolling,
Rolling on the river.
