Proud Mary (Live at the Olympia, Paris, January 1971)

And right now, I think you might like to hear something from us

(Nice) Left a good job down in the city

Working for the man every night and day (Well now, I'd like to do that for you)

But I never lost a minute of sleep (But there's just one thing, you see)

(We never, ever do nothin' nice and easy)

Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been

Big wheels keep on turnin' (We always do it nice and rough)

Proud Mary keeps on burnin'

(And we're gonna take the beginning of this song, and we're gonna do it)

And we rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

(Easy, but then we're gonna do the finish rough)

(This is the way we do Proud Mary)

Then we rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river, my, my (Listen)

I left a good job in the city (Down in the city)

Workin' for my man every night and day

And I never lost one minute of sleep

And I was worried 'bout the way that things might have been

Big wheel keep on turnin'

Proud Mary keeps on burnin'

And we're rollin' (Rollin') rollin', yeah, (Rollin') rollin' on a river

(Rollin' on the river)

I cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis

(And I) Pumped a lot of 'tane down in New Orleans

But I never saw the good side of the city

Till I hitched a ride on the River Boat Queen

(You know that) Big wheel keep on turnin'

And the Proud Mary keep on burnin'

And we're rollin' (Rollin') rollin', yeah, (Rollin') rollin' on a river

(Rollin' on the river)

I said we're rollin' (Rollin') rollin' (Rollin') we're rollin' on the river

(Rollin' on the river) Two, three, four

Now I left a good job in the city

Workin' for the man every night and day

And I never lost one minute of sleep

Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been

Big wheel keep on turnin' (Turnin')

Proud Mary keeps on burnin' (Burnin')

And we're rollin' (Yeah) rollin' (And we're) rollin' on a river

(And I say) Rollin' (All right) rollin' (Yeah) rollin' on a river

I cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis

Pumped a lot of 'tane down in New Orleans

But I never saw the good side of the city

Till I hitched a ride on the River Boat Queen

Big wheel keep on turnin' (Turnin')

Proud Mary keeps on burnin' (Burnin')

Rollin' (Yeah) rollin' (All right) rollin' on a river

I say we're rollin' (All right) rollin' (Yeah) rollin' on a river

Yeah, yeah, all right
