Intro :
Left a good job in the city,
Workin for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been
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.
But I never saw the good side of the city
Till I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.
Big wheels keep on turnin, P roud Mary keep on b urnin
And we're rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river!
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river, the rive r, the r iver , the ri ver
