|
Left a good job in the city |
|
Workin' for the man every night and day |
|
Haven't ever lost one minute of sleeping |
|
Worried about the way things might have been |
|
Been a lot of places down in Memphis |
|
I umped a lot of babes down in New Orleans |
|
Had a lot of shots at good times in the city |
|
Till I hitched a ride on a river bout queen |
|
A big wheel keeps on turnin' |
|
Proud Mary keeps on burnin', rollin', rollin' |
|
Rollin' on a river |
|
Rollin, rollin, rollin on a river |
|
If you come down to the river |
|
I betcha you're gonna find some people who live |
|
You don't have to worry |
|
'Cause you have no money |
|
People along 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', rollin' on a river |
