Proud Mary

You know?

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

Nice and easy

But there's just one thing, you see? (left a good job down in the city)

You see, we never ever do nothing (working for the man)

Nice and easy (every night and day)

We always like to do it (and I never lost-)

Nice and rough (one minute of sleeping, I don't worry 'bout-)

So we're gonna take the beginning of this song (the way things might have-)

And do it easy (been, big wheel keep-)

And then we're gonna do the finish rough (on turnin')

That's the way we do Proud Mary (Proud Mary keep on burnin')

And we're rollin'

Rollin'

Rollin' on the river

Listen to the story now

Left a good job in the city (down in the city)

Working for the man every night and day

And I never lost one minute of sleeping

Worrying 'bout the way that things might have been

(You know that-) 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)

Yes, we're rollin' (rollin')

Rollin', yeah (rollin')

Rollin' on the river (rollin' on-)

The river (the river)

I left a good job in the city

Working for the man every night and day

And I never lost one minute of sleeping

Worrying 'bout the way that things might have been

Big wheel keep on turnin' (turnin')

Proud Mary keep on burnin' (burnin')

We're rollin'

Rollin'

Rollin' on the river

Yes, we're rollin'

Rollin'

Rollin' on the river

River doop- doop- doop

Doop- doop- doop- doop

Doop- doop- doop- alright! (doop)

I cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis

Pumped a lot of 'tane down in New Orleans

But I never saw the good side of the city

'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen
