Proud Mary (Live at Convention Center Arena, San Antonio, TX - April 18, 1972) Lyrics

Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worryin' about the way things might have been
A big wheel keep on turnin'
The Proud Mary keep on burnin'

Oh, we're rollin' (rollin'), rollin', (rollin')
Rollin' on a river

I cleaned a lot of plates down in Memphis
I 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 riverboat queen
I said, a big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'

Oh, I'm rollin' (rollin'), rollin', (rollin')
Rollin' on a river

Oh, if you come down to the river
I bet you gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry, 'cause you have no money
The people on the river are happy to give
I said a big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'

Oh I'm rollin', rollin, rollin' on a river
Take it on

Rollin', rollin, rollin' on a river
"Play that base tough guy"
Rollin', rollin, rollin' on a river
Rollin', rollin, rollin' on a river
Rollin', rollin, rollin' on a river
Rollin', rollin, rollin' on a river
Rollin', rollin, rollin' on a river
