"Proud Mary" lyrics

"Proud Mary"

Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worryin' 'bout the way things might've been

Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we're rollin' (rollin'), 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 riverboat queen

Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we're rollin' (rollin'), rollin' (rollin')
Rollin' on the river
And we're rollin' (rollin'), 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'
And we're rollin' (rollin'), rollin' (rollin')
Rollin' on the river
And we're rollin' (rollin'), rollin' (rollin')
Rollin' on the river

Well, I left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worrying about the way things might've been

Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we're rollin' (rollin'), rollin' (rollin')
Rollin' on the river
And we're rollin' (rollin'), rollin' (rollin')
Rollin' on the river
And we're rollin' (rollin'), rollin' (rollin')
Rollin' on the river

Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
