Lyrics

You know, every now and then I think you might like to hear something from us (left a good job down in the city) Nice and easy, but there's just one thing (working for the man every night and day) You see, we never ever do nothing nice and easy (but I never lost one minute of sleeping) We always do it nice and rough (worrying 'bout the way that things might have been) So we're gonna take the beginning of the song and do it easy (big wheel keep on turning) But then we're gonna do the finish rough (Proud Mary keep on burning) This is the way we do "Proud Mary" (And we're) rolling, rolling, rolling on the river Listen to the story now Left a good job in the city (down in the city) Working for the man every night and day And I never lost one minute of sleeping I was worrying 'bout the way that things might have been Big wheel keep on turning Ooh, the Proud Mary keep on burning And we're rolling (rolling) Rolling, yeah (rolling) Rolling on the river (rolling 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 riverboat queen (You know that) big wheel keep on turning Ooh, the Proud Mary keep on burning And we're rolling (rolling) Rolling, yeah (rolling) Rolling on the river (rolling on the river) Said we're rolling (rolling) Rolling (rolling) Rolling on the river (rolling on the river) Oh, 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 that things might have been Big wheel keep on turning (turning) Proud Mary keep on burning (burning) Rolling (yeah), rolling (all right) Rolling on the river (rolling now) Rolling (all right), say we rolling (yeah) Rolling on the river We're up, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do (Whoo!) Alright! Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis, y'all 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 turning (turning) Proud Mary keep on burning (burning) Rolling (all right), rolling (yeah) Rolling on the river Say we're rolling, rolling Rolling on the river We're up, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do Alright! Yeah Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah All right, yeah, yeah, yeah Ooh, yeah, yeah 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 The people on the river are happy to give Big wheel keep on turning (turning) Proud Mary keep on burning (burning) Rolling (oh, oh), say we rolling (yeah) Rolling on the river (all right now) Rolling, rolling Rolling on the river We're up, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do (Whoo!) yeah, ooh (They warn me, they warn me like that) Rolling, yeah (rolling), alright, alright (Rolling) yeah, (rolling) uh-huh (Rolling on the river) give me one more time (Rolling) yeah, (rolling), ooh (We rolling on the river) (Rolling) ow, (rolling), yeah (Rolling on the river) now, now, now, now (Rolling) yeah, (rolling) ooh (rolling)
