Y' know, every now and then I think you might like to hear something from us Nice and easy But there's just one thing (Left a good job down in the city) You see we never ever do nothing (working for the man) Nice and easy (every night and day) We always do it nice and rough (But I never lost one minute of slee--ping) So we're gonna take the beginning of this song (now I worry about the way the things) And do it easy (might have been) Then we're gonna do the finish rough (Big wheels keep on turning) This is the way we do 'Proud Mary' (proud mary keeps on burning) (And we're) rolling, rolling, rolling on the river Listen to the story now
I left a good job in the city (down in the city) Working for the man every night and day (ing for the man every night and day) And I never lost one minute of sleeping (But I never lost one minute of slee--ping) worrying 'bout the way things might have been (now i worry about the way the things might have been)
(You know that) Big wheel keep on turning Oh the proud mary keep on burning And we’re rolling, rolling (rolling) (rolling) Rolling on the river
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis (You know, Pumped a lot of tane down in New Orleans (I pumper the lot of tane down in New Orleans) But I never saw all the good side of the city Until I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen
(You know that) Big wheel keep on turning Oh the proud mary keep on burning 'And we’re rolling, rolling yeah (rollng), (rolling) Rolling on the river (rolling on the river)' }2x repeat [repeat song from here once]
If you come down to the river I bet you 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 keep on turning Proud mary keep on burning And we're rolling, rolling Rolling on the river.
