Proud Mary Songtext
von Ike & Tina Turner

Rollin′, rollin'
Rollin′ on the river

I left a good job down in the city
Working for the man every night and day
But I never lost one minute of sleeping
I was worrying 'bout the way that things might have been

Big wheel keep on turning
And a proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river

I cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
You know, I pumped a lot of ′pane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Until I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen


Big wheels keep on turning
And a proud Mary keep on burning
And we′re rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
Said, we're rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
The river, the river, the river

Left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
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
Say, we′re rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river, the river

Hey!

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of 'pane down in New Orleans
I never saw the good side of the city
′Till 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
And we're rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river

Hey!

If you come down to the river
I bet you gonna find some people who live
Ou don′t have to worry if you got no money
People on the river are happy to give

Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we′re rolling and we're rolling
And we′re rolling on the river
Tell me one more time
Yeah, all right, ooh, yeah
Yeah, all right, ah-ha, whoo
Yeah
All right, now
Yeah, rolling, rolling on the river
Said they're rolling, oh, rolling, yeah, rolling on the river
I tell you they′re rolling, a-rolling, a-rolling on the river
Yeah, all right, ah-ha
