(John Fogerty)
|
Left a good job in the city
|
Workin' for the man every night and day
|
Haven't ever lost one minute of sleeping
|
Worried about the way things might have been
|
|
Been a lot of places down in Memphis
|
I umped a lot of babes down in New Orleans
|
Had a lot of shots at good times in the city
|
Till I hitched a ride on a river bout queen
|
|
A big wheel keeps on turnin'
|
Proud Mary keeps on burnin', rollin', rollin'
|
Rollin' on a river
|
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 along the river are happy to give
|
|
I said a big wheel keeps on turnin'
|
Proud Mary keeps on burnin', rollin', rollin'
|
Rollin' on a river
|
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on a river
|
