Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man every might and day
And I never lost a minute of sleepin'
Worryin' 'bout the way things might've been

Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'

Rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on the river

Rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on the river

River,
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo

Uh huh

Cleaned alot of plates in Memphis
Pulled alot of tanks in the New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Till I hitch a ride on the River Boat Queen

Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'

Rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on the river

Rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on the river

River
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo

Whoa

If you come down to the river
Bet ya gonna find some people who live
But you dont have to worry
If you have no money
People on the river are happy to give

Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'

Rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on the river

I said
Rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on the river

I said
Rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on the river

I said
Rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on the river

I said
Rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on the river

River
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo

Alright

Whoo
