Y� know, every now and then
I think you might like to hear something from us
Nice and easy
But there�s just one thing
You see we never ever do nothing
Nice and easy
We always do it nice and rough
So we�re gonna take the beginning of this song
And do it easy
Then we�re gonna do the finish rough
This is the way we do proud mary
And we�re rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Listen to the story
I left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And i never lost one minute of sleeping
Worrying �bout the way things might have been
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud mary keep on burning
And we�re 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 riverboat queen
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud mary keep on burning
And we�re rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
If you come down to the river
I bet you gonna find some people who live
You don�t have to worry if you got no money
People on the river are happy to give
