Intro

Verse 1

Left a good job in the city,

Workin' for The Man ev'ry night and day,

And I never lost one minute of sleepin',

Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been.

Chorus

Big wheel keep on turnin',

Proud Mary keep on burnin',

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

Verse 2

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis,

Pumped a lot of 'pane down in New Orleans,

But I never saw the good side of the city,

'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.

Chorus

Big wheel keep on turnin',

Proud Mary keep on burnin',

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

If you come down to the river,

Bet you 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.

Chorus

Big wheel keep on turnin',

Proud Mary keep on burnin',

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

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

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

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