Proud Mary Lyrics - Lynn Anderson

I left a good job in the city workin' for the man every night and day 

But I never lost a minute of sleepin' 

Worryin' bout the way things might have been 

Big wheels keep on turnin' Proud Mary keeps on burnin' 

Rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river 

I cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis chopped a lotta cane down in New Orleans 

But I never saw the good side of the city till I hitched a ride on a river boat queen 

Big wheels keep on turnin' Proud Mary keeps on burnin' 

Rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river 

[ strings ] 

Now if you come down to the river I bet you gonna find some people who live 

You don't have to worry and if you got no money people on the river are happy to give 

Big Wheels keep on turnin' Proud Mary keeps on burnin' 

Rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river 

Rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river
