Well I left a good job in the city

Workin' for the man every night and day

And I never lost one minute of sleepin'

Worryin' bout the way things might have been A big wheel to keep on turnin'

Proud Mary keeps on burnin'

I said, "Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river" George you know I cleaned a lot of things down in Memphis

Popped a lot of cane in New Orleans

But I never saw the good side of the city

Till I hitched a ride on this river boat queen Big wheels keep on turnin'

Proud Mary keeps on burnin'

I said, "Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river" Well if you come down to the river

Well I bet you gonna find some people joining who do you

You don't have to worry George if you have no money

People on the river are happy to give I said, "The big wheel will keep on turnin'

Proud Mary keeps on burnin'

We're rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river" I said, "We're rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river"

Rollin', rollin' on the river Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river on the river

Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river on the river

I said, "We're rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river"
