Left a good job in the city
working for a men every night and day
And i never lost one minute of sleeping
i was worrin ´bout the way things might have been

Big wheel keep on turning Proud mary keep on burning
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river

the river
on the riiiiiver

Cleaned a lot of plates in memphis
pumped a lot of pain down in new orleans
But i never saw the good side of the city until i hitched a ride on the riverboat queen

Big wheel keep on turning. Proud mary keep on burning
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the River

If you came down to the river
Bet you gonna find some people who live
You don´t have to worry cause you have no money, people on the river are happy to give!

Big wheel keep on turning Proud mary keep on burning
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river!
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river!
