Proud Mary

Artist - CCR



Left a good job in the city,
Working for The Man
every night and day,
And 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
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,
Until I hitched a ride
on a river boat 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,
Bet you gonna find
some people who live.
You don't have to worry
'cause you have 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
Rolling, rolling,
rolling on the river
Rolling, rolling,
rolling on the river
