Proud Mary

(album: You're My Man - 1971)

I left a good job in the city working for the man every night and day
But I never lost a minute of sleeping
Worrying 'bout the way things might have been
Big wheels keep on turning Proud Mary keeps on burning
Rolling rolling rolling on the river rolling rolling rolling 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 turning Proud Mary keeps on burning
Rolling rolling rolling on the river rolling rolling rolling on the river

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 turning Proud Mary keeps on burning
Rolling rolling rolling on the river rolling rolling rolling on the river
Rolling rolling rolling on the river rolling rolling rolling on the river
