Lyrics
You know, every now and then
I think you might like to hear something from us
Nice and easy
Left a good job down in the city
There's just one thing
You see, we never ever do nothing nice and easy
Workin' for the man every night and day
We always do it nice and rough
Well, I never lost one minute of sleep
And I won't worry 'bout the way things might've been
We're gonna take the beginning of this song and do it easy
Big wheel keep on turnin'
But then we're gonna do the finish rough
Proud Mary, keep on burnin'
That's the way we do Proud Mary
And we're rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Listen to the story
Left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
And I was
Worrying 'bout the way that things might have been
You know that
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary, keep on burning
And we're rollin', rollin', yeah, rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
You know
I pumped a lot of 'tane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Until I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen
You know the
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary, keep on burning
And we're rollin', rollin', yeah, rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Said we're rollin', rollin', yeah, rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on
The river
Oh, I left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worrying 'bout the way that things might have been
Big wheel keep on turning
Turning
Proud Mary, keep on burning
Burning
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Said, we're rollin', we're rollin', rollin' on the river
Alright
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 riverboat queen
Big wheel keep on turning
Turning
Proud Mary, keep on burning
Burning
And we're rollin', said we're rollin', we're rollin' on the river
I tell you we're rollin', rollin', we're rollin' on the river
Alright
Yeah
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
If you come down to the river
I bet you're gonna find some people who live
And you don't have to worry if you got no money
People on the river are happy to give
Big wheel keep on turning
Turning
Proud Mary, keep on burning
Burning
And we're rollin', and we're rollin', and we're rollin' on the river
Tell me one more time
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Yeah, alright, ooh yeah
Yeah
Alright
Uh-huh
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Yeah, alright now
We're rollin', yeah, rollin', we're rollin' on the river
Said we're rollin', rollin', yeah, rollin' on the river
I tell you, we're rollin', we're rollin', we're rollin' on the river
Yeah
Alright
Uh-huh
