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
have been. Big wheel a-keep on turnin' Proud Mary keep on burnin',
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river.
2nd verse:
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis, pumped a lot of pain
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 wheel akeep on turnin,
Proud Mary keep on
burnin, rollin, rollin, rollin on the river.
3rd verse:
If you come down to the river, bet you're 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,
rollin, rollin, rollin on the river.
