Proud Mary (original) Lyrics

Left a good job in the city

Working for a man every night and day

But I never lost one minute of sleeping

Worrying 'bout the way things might have been



Big wheel keep on turning

Proud Mary keep on burning

Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river

Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river



Cleaned a lot plates in Memphis

Pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans

But I never saw the good side of the city

Till I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen



Big wheel keep on turning

Proud Mary keep on burning

Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river

Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river



If you come down to the river

I 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



Big wheel keep on turning

Proud Mary keep on burning

Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river

Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
