Left a good job in the city
working for the man every night and day
And I never lost a minute of sleeping
worrying 'bout the way things might have been
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
Rollin' (Rollin'), Rollin' (Rollin')
Rollin on the river (Rollin on the river)
Rollin' (Rollin'), Rollin' (Rollin')
Rollin on the river
Been a lot of places in Memphis
pumped a lot of pain 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
Rollin' (Rollin'), Rollin' (Rollin')
Rollin on the river (Rollin on the river)
Rollin' (Rollin'), Rollin' (Rollin')
Rollin on the river
Rollin' (Rollin'), Rollin' (Rollin')
Rollin on the river (Rollin on the river)
Rollin' (Rollin'), Rollin' (Rollin')
Rollin on the river
Yeah
If you come down to the river
bet you're gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry if you don't have no money
people on the river are happy to give
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
Rollin' (Rollin'), Rollin' (Rollin')
Rollin on the river (Rollin on the river)
Rollin' (Rollin'), Rollin' (Rollin')
Rollin on the river (Rollin on the river)
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary she just keeps on burning
Rollin' (Rollin'), Rollin' (Rollin')
Rollin on the river
Rollin on the river
Rollin' (Rollin'), Rollin' (Rollin')
Rollin on the river
Rollin on the river
Rollin' (Rollin'), Rollin' (Rollin')
