Left a good job in the city,
Workin for the man every night and day
Big wheel a-keep on turnin' Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we're rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river!
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans.
Big wheels keep on turnin, Proud Mary keep on burnin
And we're rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river!
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river, the river, the river, the river
Left a good job in the city,
Workin for the man every night and day
Big wheel a-keep on turnin' Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we're rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river!
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river!
Give up dup dup dup, dup dup dup dup, dup dup dup dup
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis,
pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans.
Big wheels keep on turnin, Proud Mary keep on burnin
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river!
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river!
So if you come down to the river
Bet you're gonna find some people who live,
You don't have to worry, if you have no money
People on the river are happy to give.
Big wheel a-keep on turnin' Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river!
Give up dup dup dup, dup dup dup dup, dup dup dup dup
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river!
