Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man every night and day
But I never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been
Big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we're rollin' (ooh)
Rollin' (ooh)
Rollin' on the river
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of 'pane 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 turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And, and, and, and we're rollin' (ooh-ooh)
Rollin' (ooh-ooh, ooh)
Rollin' on the river
Yeah, we're rollin' (ooh-ooh, ooh)
Rollin' (ooh-ooh, ooh)

If you come down to the river
Bet you gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry if you got no money
People on the river are happy to give
