You know, every now and then I think you wanna hear 
somethin from us, nice and easy 
Its just one thing you see, 
We never, ever do nothin nice and easy 
We always do it nice and rough 
But we're gonna take the beginning of this song and do it easy 
And then we're gonna do the finish rough 
The way we do Proud Mary 
Listen to the story now 
And we're rolling, rolling, rolling on the river 
listen to the story 
Left a good job in the city 
Workin' for the man every night and day 
I never lost one minute of sleep 
Worryin' about the way things might have been 
Big wheels Keep on turnin 
Proud Mary keeps on burnin' 
And we're rollin' 
Rollin, rollin on the river 
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 until I hitched 
a ride on the river boat Queen 
Big wheels Keep on turnin 
Proud Mary keeps on burnin' 
And we're rollin' 
Rollin, rollin on the river 
Left a good job in the city 
Workin' for the man every night and day 
I never lost one minute of sleep 
Worryin' about the way things might have been 
Big wheels Keep on turnin 
Proud Mary keeps on burnin' 
And we're rollin' 
Rollin, rollin on the river 
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 until I hitched 
a ride on the river boat Queen 
Big wheels Keep on turnin 
Proud Mary keeps on burnin' 
And we're rollin' 
Rollin, rollin on the river 
If you come down to the river 
I betcha you're gonna find some people who live 
You don't have to worry 
If you got no money 
The people on the river are happy to give 
I said a big wheel keeps on turnin' 
Proud Mary keeps on burnin', rollin', rollin' 
Rollin' on a river 
Rollin', rollin' on a river 
Rollin', rollin' on a river 
Rollin', rollin' on a river 
Rollin', rollin' on a river 
Rollin', rollin' on a river 
Rollin', rollin' on a river...
