Proud Mary (version 2) Songtext
von Bobby Darin

You know I left a good job in the city
I′d be working for the man every night and day
But I never lost one minute of sleeping
Worrying about 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
We′ll be rolling, we'll be rolling, we'll be rolling on the river

I used to deal a lot of plays in Memphis
I pumped a lot of ′pane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
′Til I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen

Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
We′ll be rolling, we'll be rolling, we′ll be rolling on the river


Now if you come down to the river
I bet you gonna find some people who live
And you don't have to worry if you got no money
People on the river they′re happy to give

Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
We'll be rolling, rolling, rolling on the river

We′ll be rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
We′ll be rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
I said rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
We'll be rolling, we′ll be rolling, we'll be rolling on the river
We′ll be rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
We'll be rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
We′ll be rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
We'll be rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
We'll be rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Whoa, I left a good job in the city
