Y' know, every now and then



I think you might like to hear something from us



Nice and easy



But there's just one thing



You see we never ever do nothing



Nice and easy



We always do it nice and rough



So we're gonna take the beginning of this song



And do it easy



Then we're gonna do the finish rough



This is the way we do proud mary



And we're rolling, rolling, rolling on the river



Listen to the story



I 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



And we're 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



Till I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen



Big wheel keep on turning



Proud mary keep on burning



And we're 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
