Oh I left a good job in the city
working for the man every night and day
and I never lost one minute of sleeping
worrying 'bout the way things might have been
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
and we rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river
Left a good job in the city
working for the man every night and day
and I never lost one minute of sleeping
I was worrying 'bout the way things might have been
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
and we're rollin' rollin' yea rollin' on the river
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
and I pumped a lot of tane down in New Orleans
but I never saw the good side of the city
until I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
and we're rollin' rollin' yea rollin' on the river
said we're rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river
the river
