I left a good job in the city workin' for the man
every night and day But I never lost a minute of
sleepin' Worryin' bout the way things might have
been Big wheels keep on turnin' Proud Mary keeps
on burnin' Rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river
rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river I cleaned a
lot of plates in Memphis chopped a lotta 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 Big wheels keep on turnin' Proud Mary keeps
on burnin' Rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river
rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river
[ strings ]
Now if you come down to the river I bet you gonna
find some people who live You don't have to worry
and if you got no money people on the river are
happy to give Big Wheels keep on turnin' Proud
Mary keeps on burnin' Rollin' rollin' rollin' on
the river rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river
Rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river rollin'
rollin' rollin' on the river
every night and day But I never lost a minute of
sleepin' Worryin' bout the way things might have
been Big wheels keep on turnin' Proud Mary keeps
on burnin' Rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river
rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river I cleaned a
lot of plates in Memphis chopped a lotta 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 Big wheels keep on turnin' Proud Mary keeps
on burnin' Rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river
rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river

the river rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river
