Proud Mary (Live at Richmond Coliseum, Richmond, VA - April 10, 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

Cleaned a lot of plates down 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 riverboat queen
I said, the big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'

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

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
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
Rollin', rollin, rollin' on a river
Rollin', rollin, rollin' on a river
Rollin', rollin, rollin' on a river, ho
Rollin', rollin, rollin' on a river
Rollin', rollin, rollin' on a river, yeah
