You know, every now and then
I think you might like to hear something from us
Nice and easy but there's just one thing
You see, we never ever do nothing nice and easy
We always do it nice and rough
We're going to take the beginning of this song
And do it easy
Then we're going to do the finish rough
That's the way we do 'Proud Mary'
Rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
Listen to the story now
Left a good job down 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 that things might have been
Big wheel keep on turning
Ohh the Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling yeh
Rolling on the river
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
Until I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen
Big wheel keep on turning
Ooh Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling
Rolling yeah
Rolling on the river
Yeh we're rolling
Rolling
Rolling on the river
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 that things might have been
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Move up
Do do do do do do do do do do do
Alright
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
'Til I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Move up
Do do do do do do do do do do do
Alright
Yeah
Ooo yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ooo
Yeah
If you come down to the river
I bet you going to find some people who live
And you don't have to worry if you got 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
Move up
Do do do do do do do do do do do
Alright
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Alright alright
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
