Proud Mary Songtext

von The Tremeloes

Left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
Worrying 'bout the way things might have been

Chorus
Big wheels keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
Rollin', rollin', rollin'on the river.

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
'til I hitched a ride on a riverboat-queen

Chorus

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
