Rollin', rollin', rollin' on a river
This one's for you Artie

Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleep
And I was worryin' about the way that things might have been

Big wheel keep on turnin'
Ooh, the proud Mary keep on burnin'

And we're rollin'
(Rollin')
Rollin', yeah
(Rollin')
Rollin' on the river
(Rollin' on the river)

Said, 'We're rollin''
(Rollin')
Rollin'
(Rollin')
Rollin on the river
(Rollin' on the river)

So I 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

Big wheels keep on turnin'
(Turnin')
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
(Burnin')

Rollin'

Rollin' on the river

Rollin'
(Rollin')
Rollin'
(Yeah)
Rollin' on the river

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis y'all
(Memphis y'all)
Pumped a lot of 'tane down in New Orleans
(New Orleans)
But I never saw the good side of the city
'Til I hitched a ride on the river boat Queen

Big wheel keep on turnin'
(Turnin')
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
(Burnin')

Rollin'
(Rollin')
Rollin'
(Rollin')
Rollin' on the river
(Rollin' on the river)

Rollin'
(Yeah)
Rollin'
(Rollin')
Rollin' on the river
(Rollin' on the river)

If you come down to the river
I bet you're gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry if you have no money
People on the river are happy to give

Big wheel keep on turnin'
(Turnin')
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
(Burnin')
