Left a good job in the city
Workin´ for the man ev´ry night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin´
Woryin´ ´bout the way things might have been
Big wheel keep on turnin´
Proud Mary keep on burnin´
Rollin´, rollin´, rollin´ on the river
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Until I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen
Big wheel keep on turnin´
Proud Mary keep on burnin´
Rollin´, rollin´, rollin´ on the river
If you come down to the river
Bet you 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 turnin´
Proud Mary keep on burnin´
Rollin´, rollin´, rollin´ on the river
