Lyrics

[Intro]
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
Why I never lost one minute of sleep and I won't worry 'bout the way that things might have 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 rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Listen to the story
[Verse 1]
Left a good job in the city
Down in the city
Workin' for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
I was worryin' about the way that things might have been
[Chorus]
You know that big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we're rollin', rollin', yeah, rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
The river
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
You know the big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we're rollin', rollin', yeah
Rollin', rollin'
Rollin' on the river
Rollin' on the river
Said we're rollin', rollin', yeah, rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the
The river
[Verse 3]
Oh, I 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
[Chorus]
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Say we're rollin', we're rollin', rollin' on the river
The river, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Alright
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Burnin'
And we're rollin', said we rollin', we rollin' on the river
I tell you we're rollin', rollin', yeah, rollin' on the river
River, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Alright, yeah, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
[Verse 5]
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
[Chorus]
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Burnin'
And we're rollin', yeah, we rollin', yeah, we rollin' on the river
Tell me one more time
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Yeah, uh, alright, ooh, yeah
River, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Yeah, alright, uh-huh, woo, come on
[Verse 6]
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Yeah, alright, now
Rollin', yeah, rollin', rollin' on the river
Say we rollin', uh, rollin', yeah, rollin' on the river
I tell ya we rollin', we rollin', we're rollin' on the river
Yeah, alright, uh-huh
