Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the men every night and day
And I never lost a minute of sleepin'
Worrin' about the way things might have been
Big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin' Rollin' Rollin' on a river
Been a lot of places in Mephis
Pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans
But I never saw a good sie of a city
Till I hitched a ride on a river boat queen
Big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin' Rollin' Rollin' on a river
Rollin' Rollin' Rollin' on a River
If you come down to the River
Bet you're gonna find some people who live
But you don't have to worry
If you have no money
People on the river are happy to give
Big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin' Rollin' Rollin' on a river
Rollin' Rollin' Rollin' on a River
Rollin' Rollin' Rollin' on a River
Rollin' Rollin' Rollin' on a River!
