Proud Mary
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Left a job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
But I never lost a minute of sleep
And I was worrying 'bout the way things might have been
Big wheels keep on turning
Proud Mary keeps on burning
And we're rolling
Rolling, yeah
Rolling on the river
(Rolling on the river)
Said we're rolling
Rolling, yeah
Rolling on the river
(The river, the river, the river)
Left a job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
But I never lost a minute of sleep
And I was worrying 'bout the way things might have been
Big wheels keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling
Rolling
Rolling on the river
Said we're rolling
Rolling, yeah
Rolling on the river
Oh right
Oh right
Oh yeah, yeah
Clean a lot of plates in Memphis
Hogged a lot of playing 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 keep on burning
Rolling
Rolling
Rolling on the river
Said we're rolling
Rolling, yeah
Rolling on the river
If you come down to the river
Betcha gonna find the people who live
You don't have to worry 'cause you ain't got no money
People on the river are happy to give
Big wheels keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling
Rolling
Rolling on the river
Said we're rolling, yeah
Rolling, yeah
Rolling on the river
Oh right
Yeah
Oh right
Yeah...
