Left a good job in the city

Working for the man ev’ry night and day

And I never lost one minute of sleepin’

I was worrying about the way things

Might have been

Big wheel, keep on turning,

Proud Mary, keep on burning

And we are rolling (Rolling),

Rolling on the river (Rolling on the river),

Rolling (Rolling) Rolling (Rolling),

Rolling on the river (Rolling on the river)

(The river) Rolling

Rolling (Rolling)

(Rolling) Rolling on the river

(Rolling on the River)

(The River)

Left a good job in the city

Working for the man ev’ry night and day

And I never lost one minute of sleepin’

Worrying about the way things

Might have been

Big wheel, keep on turning

Proud Mary, keep on burning

And we’re rolling, Rolling

Rolling, Rolling on the river

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis

I pumped a lot of plain 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 wheel, keep on turning,

Proud Mary, keep on burning

And we are rolling (Rolling),

Rolling on the river (Rolling on the river),

Rolling (Rolling) Rolling (Rolling),

Rolling on the river (Rolling on the river)

(The river) Rolling

Rolling (Rolling)

(Rolling) Rolling on the river

(Rolling on the River)

(The River)

If you come down the river

I betcha gonna find some people who live

You don’t have to worry

Cause you have no money

People on the river are happy to give

Big wheel, keep on turning,

Proud Mary, keep on burning

And we are rolling (Rolling),

Rolling on the river (Rolling on the river),

Rolling (Rolling) Rolling (Rolling),

Rolling on the river (Rolling on the river)

(The river) Rolling

Rolling (Rolling)

(Rolling) Rolling on the river

(Rolling on the River)

(The River)
