Y' 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 we never ever do nothing 

Nice and easy 

We always do it nice and rough 

So we're gonna take the beginning of this song 

And do it easy 

Then we're gonna do the finish rough 

This is the way we do "Proud Mary" 

And we're rolling, rolling, rolling on the river 

Listen to the story 

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 things might have been 

 Big wheel keep on turning 

Proud mary keep on burning 

And we're rolling, rolling 

Rolling on the river 

 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 

Till I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen 

 Big wheel keep on turning 

Proud mary keep on burning 

And we're rolling, rolling 

Rolling on the river 

 If you come down to the river 

I bet you gonna find some people who live 

You don't have to worry if you got no money 

People on the river are happy to give
