Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worrying 'bout the way things might have been

Big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'on the river

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
'Til I hitched a ride on a riverboat-queen

Big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'on the river

Big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'on the river

If you come down to the river
Bet you gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry, well you have no money
People on the river are happy to give

Big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'on the river

Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
