Proud Mary (Remastered 1994)

You know

Every now and then I think you might like to hear something from us

(Left a good job down in the city)

Nice and easy

But there's just one thing, you see (workin' for the man every night and day)

We never ever do nothin'

(But I never lost one minute of sleepin') nice and easy

We always do it nice and rough

(Worryin' 'bout the way that things might've been)

And we're gonna take the beginning of this song and do it easy

(Big wheel keep on turnin')

But then we're gonna do the finish rough

(Proud Mary keep on burnin') this is the way we do "Proud Mary"

And we rollin', rollin'

Rollin' on the river

Listen to the story now

Left a good job down in the city

Workin' for the man every night and day

And I never lost one minute of sleepin'

I was worryin' 'bout the way that things might've been

Big wheel keep on turnin'

Ooh, the Proud Mary keep on burnin'

And we're rollin' (rollin'), rollin', yeah (rollin')

Rollin' on the river (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 riverboat queen

You know the big wheel keep on turnin'

Proud Mary keep on burnin'

And we're rollin' (rollin'), rollin', yeah (rollin')

Rollin' on the river (rollin' on the river)

Say we're rollin' (rollin'), rollin' (rollin')

Rollin' on the river (rollin' on the river)

Oh, I left a good job in the city

Workin' for the man every night and day

And I never lost one minute of sleepin'

Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been

Big wheel keep on turnin' (turnin')

Proud Mary keep on burnin' (burnin')

Rollin' (yeah), rollin' (alright)

Rollin' on the river (go 'head now)

Rollin' (oh), say we're rollin' (yeah)

Rollin' on the river

We're up, do do do do do do do do do do do
