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'
Big wheel keep on turnin' (turnin'), Proud Mary keep on burnin' (burnin')
Rollin', (yeah) rollin', (alright) rollin' on the river! (go ahead now)
Rollin', rollin', (yeah) rollin' on the river!
River dup dup dup, dup dup dup dup, dup dup dup dup


Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis, y'all
Pumped a lot of 'tane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city,
Big wheel a-keep on turnin' (turnin'), Proud Mary keep on burnin' (burnin')
Rollin', (roll roll) rollin', (yeah) rollin' on the river (go ahead now)
Said we're rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river!
River dup dup dup, dup dup dup dup, dup dup dup dup


So if you come down to the river
I bet you're gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry, if you got no money
People on the river are happy to give
Big wheel a-keep on turnin' (turnin'), Proud Mary keep on burnin' (burnin')
Rollin', (rolling) said rollin' (yeah), rollin' on the river! (alright now)
River dup dup dup, dup dup dup dup, dup dup dup dup
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river! (Gimme one more time) etc
