Left a good job
in the city
Workin' for the man
every night and day
Haven't ever lost one
minute of sleeping
Worryin' about the way
things might have been
Big wheel
keeps on turnin'
Proud Mary
keeps on burnin'
Oh I'm rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on a river
Cleaned a lot of plate
down in Memphis
I pumped a lot of pane
down in New Orleans
But I never saw the
good side of the city
Till I hitched a ride on
a riverboat queen
Big wheel
keep on turnin'
Proud Mary
keep on burnin'
Oh I'm rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on a river
If you come down
to the river I betcha
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
I said a big wheel
keep on turnin'
Proud Mary
keep on burnin'
Oh I'm rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on a river
Rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on a river
Rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on a river
One more time
I said rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on a river
Rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on a river
Rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on a river
Rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on a river
