I.
Left a good job down 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´
Proud Mary keep on burnin´
(and we´re) Rollin´, rollin´, rollin´ on the river
say we´re Rollin´, rollin´, rollin´ on the river

II.
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of a city
´Til I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen

Big wheel keep on turnin´
Proud Mary keep on burnin´
Rollin´, rollin´, rollin´ on the river
say we´re Rollin´, rollin´, rollin´ on the river


Rollin´, rollin´, rollin´ on the river
Rollin´, rollin´, rollin´ on the river

III.
If you come down to the River
Bet you´re gonna find some people who live
You don´t have to worry that you have no money
People on the river are happy to give

Big wheel keep on turnin´
Proud Mary keep on burnin´
and we´re Rollin´, rollin´, rollin´ on the river
and we´re Rollin´, rollin´, rollin´ on the river
