Intro

Verse 1

Left a good job in the city,

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 a-keep on turnin' Proud Mary keep on burnin'

And we're rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river!

Verse 2

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis

Pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans.

But I never saw the good side of the city

Till I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.

Big wheels keep on turnin, Proud Mary keep on burnin

And we're rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river!

Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river, the river, the river, the river

Verse 3

(schneller bis zum Song ende)

Left a good job in the city

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 a-keep on turnin' Proud Mary keep on burnin'

And we're rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river!

Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river!

Give up dup dup dup, dup dup dup dup, dup dup dup dup

Verse 4

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis,

pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans.

But I never saw the good side of the city,

till I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.

Big wheels keep on turnin, Proud Mary keep on burnin

Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river!

Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river!

Give up dup dup dup, dup dup dup dup, dup dup dup dup

Verse 5

So if you come down to the river

Bet you're gonna find some people who live,

You don't have to worry, if you have no money

People on the river are happy to give.

Big wheel a-keep on turnin' Proud Mary keep on burnin'

Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river!

Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river!(till the end)
