|
You know, every now and then |
|
I think you might like to hear something from us |
|
Nice and easy |
|
But there's just one thing |
|
(I left a good job in the city) |
|
You see we never ever do nothing |
|
(Working for the man every night and day) |
|
Nice easy |
|
We always do it nice and rough |
|
(And I never lost one minute of sleeping) |
|
(And I was worrying 'bout the way things might have been) |
|
So we're gonna take the beginning of this song |
|
And do it easy |
|
(Big wheel keep on turning) |
|
Then we're gonna do the finish rough |
|
(Proud Mary keep on burning) |
|
This is the way we do Proud Mary |
|
And we're rolling, rolling |
|
Rolling on the river |
|
Listen to the story |
|
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 |
|
I was worrying 'bout the way the things might have been |
|
(You know that) |
|
Big wheel keep on turning |
|
Proud Mary keep on burning |
|
And we're rolling |
|
(Rolling) |
|
Rolling yeah |
|
(Rolling) |
|
Rolling on the river |
|
(Rolling on the river) |
|
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis |
|
(You know I have) |
|
Pumped a lot of tane down in New Orleans |
|
But I never saw all the good side of the city |
|
Till I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen |
|
(You know the) |
|
Big wheel keep on turning |
|
Proud Mary keep on burning |
|
And we're rolling |
|
(Rolling) |
|
Rolling yeah |
|
(Rolling) |
|
Rolling on the river |
|
(Rolling on the river) |
|
Say we're rolling |
|
(Rolling) |
|
Rolling yeah |
|
(Rolling) |
|
Rolling on the river |
|
(Rolling on the river) |
|
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 the things might have been |
|
Big wheel keep on turning |
|
Proud Mary keep on burning |
|
Rolling, rolling |
|
Rolling on the river |
|
Say we're rolling, rolling |
|
Rolling on the river, river |
|
Alright |
|
I 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 rolling, rolling |
|
We rolling on the river |
|

|
Rolling on the river, river |
|
Alright |

If you come down to the river |
|
I bet you 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 rolling, I'd be rolling |
|
