| You know, every now and then I think you wanna hear
|
| somethin from us, nice and easy
|
| Its just one thing you see,
|
| We never, ever do nothin nice and easy
|
| We always do it nice and rough
|
| But we’re gonna take the beginning of this song and do it easy
|
| And then we’re gonna do the finish rough
|
| The way we do Proud Mary
|
| Listen to the story now
|
| And we’re rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
|
| listen to the story
|
| Left a good job in the city
|
| Workin' for the man every night and day
|
| I never lost one minute of sleep
|
| Worryin' about the way things might have been
|
| Big wheels Keep on turnin
|
| Proud Mary keeps on burnin'
|
| And we’re rollin'
|
| Rollin, rollin 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 the river boat Queen
|
| Big wheels Keep on turnin
|
| Proud Mary keeps on burnin'
|
| And we’re rollin'
|
| Rollin, rollin on the river
|
| Left a good job in the city
|
| Workin' for the man every night and day
|
| I never lost one minute of sleep
|
| Worryin' about the way things might have been
|
| Big wheels Keep on turnin
|
| Proud Mary keeps on burnin'
|
| And we’re rollin'
|
| Rollin, rollin 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 the river boat Queen
|
| Big wheels Keep on turnin
|
| Proud Mary keeps on burnin'
|
| And we’re rollin'
|
| Rollin, rollin on the river
|
| If you come down to the river
|
| I betcha you’re gonna find some people who live
|
| You don’t have to worry
|
| If you got no money
|
| The people on the river are happy to give
|
| I said a big wheel keeps on turnin'
|
| Proud Mary keeps on burnin', rollin', rollin'
|
| Rollin' on a river
|
| Rollin', rollin' on a river
|
| Rollin', rollin' on a river
|
| Rollin', rollin' on a river
|
| Rollin', rollin' on a river
|
| Rollin', rollin' on a river
|
| Rollin', rollin' on a river… |
