Left a good job in the city

Working for the man every night and day

Then I never lost a minute of sleeping

Worrying 'bout the way things might have been

Big wheels keep on turning

Proud Mary keeps on burning

Rolling

Rolling

Rolling 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 river boat queen

Big wheels keep on turning

Proud Mary keeps on burning

Rolling

Rolling

Rolling on the river

If you come down to the river

Betcha gonna find some people who live

You don't have to worry if you have no money

People on the river are happy to give

Big wheels keep on turning

Proud Mary keeps on burning

Rolling

Rolling

Rolling on the river
