|
Left a good job in the city
|
Workin for the man every night and day
|
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
|
Worrying about the way
|
things might have been
|
|
Big wheel keep on turning
|
Proud Mary keep on burning
|
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
|
|
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 keep on turning
|
Proud Mary keep on burning
|
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
|
|
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
|
|
If you come down to the river
|
Bet you 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 turning
|
Proud Mary keep on burning
|
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
|
|
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
|
