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'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis,
Big wheel a-keep on turnin
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Roll - in, rollin, rollin on the river
Rollin, rollin, rollin on the river
If you come down to the river,
Bet you're gonna find some people who live
Big wheel keep on turnin
Proud Mary keep on burnin
Rollin, rollin, rollin on the river
