Intro

You know, every now and then
I think you might like to hear something from us

Verse

Nice and easy
But there's just one thing (left a good job down in the city)
You see, we never ever do nothing
(Workin' for the man every night and day)
Nice, easy
We always do it nice and rough (why I never lost one minute of sleepin')
(I was worryin' 'bout the way that things might've been)
And we're gonna take the beginning of this song
And do it easy
(Big wheel keep on turnin')
But then we're gonna do the finish rough
(Proud Mary keep on burnin')
This is the way we do "Proud Mary"
And we're rollin' (ooh), rollin' (ooh)
Rollin' on the river
Listen to the story
Left a good job down in the city
Workin' for the man every night and day

Chorus

And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
I was worryin' 'bout the way that things might've been
You know that big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we're rollin' (rollin'), rollin', yeah (rollin')
Rollin' on the river (rollin' on the river)
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
(You know I) pumped a lot of 'tane down in New Orleans

Verse

But I never saw the good side of the city
Until I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen
You know the big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we're rollin' (rollin'), rollin', yeah (rollin')
Rollin' on the river (rollin' on the river)
Say we're rollin' (rollin'), rollin', yeah (rollin')
Rollin' on the river (rollin' on the river)

Bridge

I left a good job in the city

Chorus

Workin' for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been
Big wheel keep on turnin' (turnin')
Proud Mary keep on burnin' (burnin')
Rollin', rollin'
Rollin' on the river
Say we're rollin', we're rollin'
Rollin' on the river
Yeah, we're up, do do do do do do do do do do do
Alright

Bridge

Oh, I cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis

Chorus

And I 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 the riverboat queen
Big wheel keep on turnin' (turnin')
Proud Mary keep on burnin' (burnin')
And we're rollin', took me rollin'
And we're rollin' on the river
I'll tell you we're rollin', rollin'
Rollin' on the river
We're up, do do do do do do do do do do do
Alright
Yeah
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
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 turnin' (turnin')
Proud Mary keep on burnin' (burnin')
And we're rollin', took me rollin'
And we're rollin' on the river
Tell me one more time
