You know, every now and then I think you
might like to hear something from us (Left a good job down in the city)
(And we) Rolling, rolling, rolling on a river - Listen to the story now
Left a good job (down) in the city,
Workin' for the man every night and day
Big wheel a-keep on turnin', ooh the Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we're rollin' (rolling), rollin' (rolling), rollin' on the river (rolling on the river)
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
(And I) Pumped a lot of 'tane down in New Orleans
(You know that) Big wheels keep on turnin', ooh the Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we're rollin' (rollin'), rollin' yeah (rollin'), rollin' on the river (rolling on the river)
Said we're rollin' (rollin'), rollin' (rollin'), rollin' on the river (rolling on the river)
Left a good job in the city
Workin for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'

You don't have to worry, if you got no money
