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
|
|
So we're gonna take the beginning of this song and do it easy
|
Then we're gonna do the finish rough
|
This is the way we do 'Proud Mary'
|
And we're rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
|
Listen to the story
|
|
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
|
And we're rolling, rolling
|
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
|
Proud Mary keep on burning
|
And we're rolling, rolling
|
Rolling on the river
|
Say, 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 things might have been
|
|
Big wheel keep on turning
|
Proud Mary keep on burning
|
Rolling, rolling
|
Rolling on the river
|
Say, we're rolling, rolling
|
Rolling on the river, the river
|
|
I 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
|
'Til I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen
|
|
Big wheel keep on turning
|
Proud Mary keep on burning
|
And we're rolling, so we're rolling
|
And we're rolling on the river
|
I tell you, we're rolling, rolling
|
We're rolling on the river
|
|
If you come down to the river
|
I bet you gonna 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
|
And we're rolling and we're rolling
|
And we're rolling on the river
|
Tell me one more time
|
(Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river)
|
|
(Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river)
|
(Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river)
|
(Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river)
|
(Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river)
|
