Proud Mary

Left a good job in the city,
workin' for the Man every night and day.
But I never lost a minute of sleepin',
worryin' 'bout the way things might have been.

Refrein:
Big wheel keep on turnin',
proud Mary keep on burnin',
rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river. (bis)

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis,
pumped a lot of tane down in New Orleans.
But I never saw the good side of a city,
'til I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen.

If you come down to the river,
bet you're 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!
