Left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day, c'mon
I never lost one minute of sleeping
Worrying 'bout the way the things might have been
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
Rolling (ooh-ooh), rolling (ooh-ooh)
Rolling on the river
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of 'tane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
'Til I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
Hey, rolling (ooh-ooh), rolling (ooh-ooh)
Rolling on the river (ooh, no)
Rolling (ooh-ooh), rolling (ooh-ooh)
Rolling on the river (the river)
What you say? (The river)
One more time (the river), river, oh!
Well, I left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
I never lost one minute of sleeping
Worrying 'bout the way the things might have been
Big wheel keep on turning (turning)
Proud Mary keep on burning (burning)
Rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
Rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river

Oh, cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of 'tane down in New Orleans
I never saw the good side of the city

You don't have to worry if you got no money
People on the river are happy to give
The big wheel keep on turning (turning)
Proud Mary keep on burning
