Y´ know, every now and then
I think you might like to hear something from us
Nice and easy
But there´s just one thing
You see we never ever do nothing
Nice and easy
We always do it nice and rough
So we´re gonna take the beginning of this song
And do it easy
Then we´re gonna do the finish rough
This is the way we do "Proud Mary"

And we´re rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Listen to the story

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 things might have been

Big wheel keep on turning
Proud mary keep on burning
And we´re rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river

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 a riverboat queen

Big wheel keep on turning
Proud mary keep on burning
And we´re rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river

If you come down to the river
I bet you gonna find some people who live
You don´t have to worry if you got no money
People on the river are happy to give
