Proud Mary

(album: My Very Special Guests - 1979)

Well, I left a good job in the city
A working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleep
While worrying 'bout the way things might have been.

Big wheels keep on turning
Proud Mary keeps on burning
I said rolling
Rolling, rolling on the river.

I cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Cropped a lot of cane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Till I hitched a ride on this river boat queen.

Big wheels keep on turning
Proud Mary keeps on burning
I said rolling
Rolling, rolling on the river.

Well, if you come down to the river
Well, I bet you gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry if you have no money
People on the river are happy to give.

Big wheels keep on turning
Proud Mary keeps on burning
I said rolling
rolling, rolling on the river.

I said rolling,
Rolling, rolling on the river.
Rolling, rolling on the river...
