Left a
good job in the city
Workin' for the Man every night and day
But
I never lost a minute of sleepin'
Worryin' 'bout the way
things might have been
Big wheel 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 a city
'Til
I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen
Big wheel
keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin',
rollin', rollin' on the river
If you come down to
the River
Bet you're gonna find some people who live
You
don't have to worry 'cause you have no money
People on the
river are happy to giveevery little thing
