Lyrics Ike – Proud Mary
Text:
Left a good job in the city
Working for the man ev’ry night and day
Then I never lost a minute of sleep
When I was worrying ’bout the way that things
Might have been
Big wheels keep on turning
Proud Mary keeps 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
Till I hitched a ride on a river boat queen
Big wheels keep on turning
Proud Mary keeps on burning
Rolling
Rolling
Rolling on the river
Rolling
Rolling
Rolling on the river
…
If you come down to the river
Betcha gonna find the people who live
You don’t have to worry though you have no money
People on the river are happy to give
Big wheels keep on turning
Proud Mary keeps on burning
Rolling
Rolling
Rolling on the river
Rolling
Rolling
Rolling on the river…
Rolling on the river
Rolling
Rolling
Rolling on the river…
