Proud Mary Songtext
von Billy Paul

Left your job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
But I never lost one minute, oh sweet babe
Worried about the way things might have been

Make way, people chatting
Proud Mary, keep on burning
′Cause I'm rolling, rolling, rolling for a river queen
Rolling, rolling, rolling for a river queen

Clean a lot of place to make face
Halt a lot of pain in New Orleans
But I never saw the great sun of the city
Until I hit, I never got to New Orleans


Make way, people chatting
Proud Mary, keep burning
But I′m rolling, rolling, rolling for a river queen
Rolling, rolling, rolling for a river queen

You come down by the river
Bet you're gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry, but you don′t have to have money
People on a river are happy to give

Make way, people chatting
Proud Mary, keep burning
′Cause I'm rolling, rolling, rolling for a river queen
Rolling, rolling, rolling for a river queen

You don′t need no money
You don't need no money
People on the river...
