Roots rock - 1969 - Creedence Clearwater Revival - Proud Mary

Left a good job in the city

Workin' for the man every night and day

And I never saw the point in complainin'

Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been

Big wheels keep on turnin'

Proud Mary keep on burnin'

Rollin', rollin', rollin' 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 turnin'

Proud Mary keep on burnin'

Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

If you come down to the river

Bet you gonna find some people who care

You don't have to worry 'cause you got no money

People on the river are happy to share

Big wheel keep on turnin'

Proud Mary keep 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
