Left a good job in the city
Working for the man both night and day
But I never lost a minute of sleep
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
I said I pumped a lot of tain in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of a city
Till I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
Rollin', rolling, rolling on the river
I said you know that I'm rolling, rolling
You know that I'm rolling' on the river
--- Instrumental Break ---
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
If you come down to the city, I said
I bet you gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry if you ain't got no money
People on the river that know how to give
