|
Why' 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 |
|
Left a good job in the city |
|
Working for the man ev'ry night and day |
|
Then I never lost a minute of sleep |
|
When worrying 'bout the way that things might have been |
|
Big wheels keep on turning |
|
Proud Mary keeps on burning |
|
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 |
|
'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen |
|
Big wheels keep on turning |
|
Proud Mary keeps on burning |
|
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river |
|
If you come down to the river |
|
Betcha gonna find the people who live |
|
You don't have to worry though you have no money |
|
People on the river are happy to give |
|
Big wheels keep on turning |
|
Proud Mary keeps on burning |
|
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river |
