Proud Mary
[Prologue]:
You 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 now:
[Song]
I left a good job in the city
Working for the man ev'ry night and day
But I never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worrying 'bout the way that things
might have been.
Big wheel keep on turning.
Proud Mary keep on burning.
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
'til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.
Big wheel keep on turning.
And the Proud Mary keep on burning.
Rolling
Rolling
Rolling on the river.
I left a good job in the city
Working for the man ev'ry night and day
But I never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worrying 'bout the way that things
might have been.
Big wheel keep on turning.
Proud Mary keep on burning.
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
'til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.
Big wheel keep on turning.
And the Proud Mary keep on burning.
Rolling
Rolling
Rolling on the river.
If you come down to the river
Betcha gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry if you got no money.
The people on the river are happy to give.
Big wheel keep on turning.
Proud Mary keep on burning.
Rolling
Rolling
Rolling on the river.
