You 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
Oooh, the proud Mary keep on burning

And we're rolling (Rolling)
Rolling, yeah (Rolling)
Rolling on the river (Rolling on the river)

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
(And I) 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 riverboat queen

(You know the) Big wheel keep on turning
Oooh, the proud Mary keep on burning

And we're rolling (Rolling)
Rolling, yeah (Rolling)
Rolling on the river (Rolling on the river)

Said we're rolling (Rolling)
Rolling (Rolling)
Rolling on the river (Rolling on the river)

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 (Turning)
Oooh, the proud Mary keep on burning (Burning)

Rolling (Yeaheah), rolling (Alright)
Rolling on the river (Go get now)
Rolling (Alright), said rolling (Yeaheah)
Rolling on the river

Tadododo...

Alright!

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis, y'all
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 (Turning)
Proud Mary keep on burning (Burning)

Rolling (Alright), rolling (Yeaheah)
Rolling on the river (Go get now)
Said rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river

Tadododo...
Alright!
Yes
Oooh
Alright, yeah, yeah

Yeah
Oh yeah

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

Big wheel keep on turning (Turning)
Proud Mary keep on burning (Burning)

Rolling (Alright), said rolling (Yeaheah)
Rolling on the river (Alright now)
Rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river

Tadododo...

Oooh!
Yeah!
Alright, yeah, yeah

Alright, alright now

(Rolling) Yeah (Rolling) Aha
Rolling on the river, give me one more time
Rolling, yeah, rolling, oooh
Rolling on the river

I said rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
