And we're rolling, rolling,
Rolling on the river
Listen to the story
I left a good job 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 the things
Might've been
You know big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling, rolling yeah
Rolling on the river (the river)
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
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 a riverboat queen
You know that big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling, rolling yeah
Rolling on the river
Say we're rolling (rolling)
Rolling yeah
Rolling on the river
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 about the way the things
Might've been
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Say we're rolling, rolling,
Rolling on the river
Oh I cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
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 a riverboat queen
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, tell you rolling,
We're rolling on the river
I tell you we're rolling, rolling,
Rolling on the river
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 turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling,
We're rolling on the river
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river)
(Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river)
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river)
Tell you we're rolling, rolling,
Rolling on the river
I tell you we're rolling, rolling,
Rolling on the river)
