[Verse 1]
Left a good job down in the city
Workin' for the man ev'ry night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
I was worryin' 'bout the way things might have been

[Refrain]
Big wheels keep on turnin'
Well, Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we’re rollin', uh, rollin', rollin' on the river
We’ll be rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

[Verse 1]
Yeah-hoo! All right, now
Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man ev'ry night and day
And I never lost a minute of sleepin'
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been

[Refrain]
Big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we’re rollin', rollin' (Oh, Lord), rollin' on the river (Ah, you got it now)
Well, we rollin', (Ah, hah) rollin' (Yeah), rollin' on the river (Well)
Yeah
Get it up
[Verse 2]
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of 'pane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Till I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen

[Refrain]
Big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we’re rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Well, we’re rollin', rollin', yeah, rollin' on the river, well
Yeah

[Instrumental break]
Ah, step it up, step it up

[Verse 3]
Well, now if you come down to the river
Bet you gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry 'cause you have no money
People on the river are happy to give

[Refrain]
Big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we’re rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Well, we’re rollin', rollin', yeah, rollin' on the river (Ah, yeah)
Yeah! All right!
Ahh, you got it now
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Yeah, we’re rollin', rollin' (Yeah), rollin' on the river, yeah
Rollin' (Yeah), rollin', rollin' on the river (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah! Heeyy!!!! Yeah!!!!
