Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man every night and day
And i never lost one minute of sleeping
And i was worried about the way things might have been
Chorus:
Big wheels keep on turnin
Proud Mary keeps on burnin'
And we're rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
And i pumped a lot of tanks down in New Orleans
But i never saw the good side of the city until i hitched
A ride on the river boat Queen
(Chorus)
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
If you come down to the river
I betcha you're gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry
If you got no money
The people on the river are happy to give
I said a big wheel keeps on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin' on a river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on a river
