Proud Mary Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
Haven't ever lost one minute of sleeping
Worried about the way things might have been
[Chorus]
A big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on b-b-b-burning
Rolling, Rolling, Rollin on a river
Rollin, Rollin, Rollin on a river
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of 'pane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen
[Verse 2]
If you come down to the river
I betcha you're going to find some people who live
You don't have to worry
Because you have no money
People along the river are happy to give
[Chorus]
Left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
Haven't ever lost one minute of sleeping
Worried about the way things might have been
[Chorus]
A big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on b-b-b-burning
Rolling, Rolling, Rollin on a river
Rollin, Rollin, Rollin on a river
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of 'pane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen
[Verse 2]
If you come down to the river
I betcha you're going to find some people who live
You don't have to worry
Because you have no money
People along the river are happy to give
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
