Proud Mary Songtext

von Acid Drinkers

I.
Left a good job down 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

{Chorus}
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
(and we're) Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Say we're Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

II.
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of a city
'Til I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen

Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Say we're Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

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

III.
If you come down to the River
Bet you're gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry that you have no money
People on the river are happy to give

Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we're Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
And we're Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
