Left a good job in the city
Working for the man ev'ry night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
I was worrying about the way things
Might have been
Big wheel, keep on turning,
Proud Mary, keep on burning
And we are rolling (Rolling),
Rolling on the river (Rolling on the river),
Rolling (Rolling) Rolling (Rolling),
Rolling on the river (Rolling on the river)
(The river) Rolling
Rolling (Rolling)
(Rolling) Rolling on the river
(Rolling on the River)
(The River)
Left a good job in the city
Working for the man ev'ry night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worrying about the way things
Might have been
Big wheel, keep on turning
Proud Mary, keep on burning
And we're rolling, Rolling
Rolling, Rolling on the river
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
I pumped a lot of plain down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Until I hitched a ride on the river boat queen
Big wheel, keep on turning,
Proud Mary, keep on burning
And we are rolling (Rolling),
Rolling on the river (Rolling on the river),
Rolling (Rolling) Rolling (Rolling),
Rolling on the river (Rolling on the river)
(The river) Rolling
Rolling (Rolling)
(Rolling) Rolling on the river
(Rolling on the River)
(The River)
If you come down the river
I betcha 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
And we are rolling (Rolling),
Rolling on the river (Rolling on the river),
Rolling (Rolling) Rolling (Rolling),
Rolling on the river (Rolling on the river)
(The river) Rolling
Rolling (Rolling)
(Rolling) Rolling on the river
(Rolling on the River)
(The River)
