Hoh, hoh
Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man every night and day
Haven't ever lost one minute of sleepin'
Worried about the way things might have been
A big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burning, well I'm rollin' rollin'
Rollin' on a river
Seen a lot of places down in Memphis
A humpin' loads of grain down to New Orleans
But I never saw a good side of the city
Till I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen
I said
A big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burning, well I'm rollin' rollin'
Rollin' on a river
If you come down to the river
I betcha you're gonna find some people who live (yeah)
You don't hav'ta worry (yeah)
Cause you have no money (yeah)
People 'long the river are happy to give
I said a big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burning, you are rollin' rollin'
Rollin' on a river
(take it up)
Rollin' rollin rollin' on a river
Rollin' rollin rollin' on a river
One more time
Rollin' rollin rollin' on a river
Rollin' rollin rollin' on a river
Rollin' rollin rollin' on a river
Rollin' rollin rollin' on a river
