Proud Mary

You know?

Every now and then

I think you might like to hear something from us

Nice and easy (Left a good job)

But there's just one thing, you see? (Down in the city)

You see, we never ever do (Working for the man)

Nothing nice (Every night and day)

And easy (And I never lost)

We always like to do it (One minute of sleeping)

Nice and rough (And I don't worry 'bout)

So we're gonna take the beginning of this song

(The way things might have been)

And do it easy (Big wheel keep on turnin')

And then we're gonna do the finish

Rough (Proud Mary)

That's the way we do (Keep on burnin')

Proud Mary

And we're rollin' (Ooh)

Rollin' (Ooh)

Rollin' on the river

Listen to the story now.​

Left a good job in the city (Down in the city)

Working for the man every night and day

And I never lost one minute of sleeping (And I won't worry)

Worried 'bout the way that things might have been

(You know that)

Big wheel keep on turnin'

Proud Mary keep on burnin'

And we're rollin' (Rollin') (Ooh)

Rollin', yeah (Rollin') (Ooh)

Rollin' on the river (Rollin' on the river)

Yes, we're rollin' (Rollin') (Ooh)

Rollin', yeah (Rollin') (Ooh)

Rollin' on the river (Rollin' on)

The river

I left a good job in the city

Working for the man every night and day

And I never lost one minute of sleeping

Worrying 'bout the way that things might have been

Big wheel keep on turnin' (Turnin')

Proud Mary keep on burnin' (Burnin')

We're rollin'

Rollin'

Rollin' on the river

Yes, we're rollin'

Rollin'

Rollin' on the river

River doop, doop, doop

Doop. doop, doop, doop

Doop, doop, doop

Alright!

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

'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen

Big wheel keep on turnin' (Turnin')

Proud Mary keep on burnin' (Burnin')

We're rollin'

Rollin'

Rollin' on the river

Yes, we're rollin'

Rollin'

Rollin' on the river

River doop, doop, doop

Doop. doop, doop, doop

Doop, doop, doop

Alright!

If you come down to the river

I bet you're gonna find some people who live

And you don't gotta worry

If you got no money

People on the river are happy to give

Big wheel keep on turnin' (Turnin')

Proud Mary keep on burnin' (Burnin')

We're rollin'

Rollin'

Rollin' on the river

Yes, we're rollin'

Rollin'

Rollin' on the river

We're rollin'

Rollin'

Rollin' on the river
