Proud Mary Songtext
von John Fogerty with Jennifer Hudson feat. Allen Toussaint and Rebirth Brass Band

Left a good job in the city,
Workin′ for the man ev'ry night and day,
And I never lost one minute of sleepin′,
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been.

Big wheels keep on turnin′,
Proud Mary keep on burnin′.
And we rollin', rollin′, rollin' on the river.

Left a good job in the city,
Workin′ for the man ev'ry night and day,
And I never lost one minute of sleepin′,
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been.

Big wheels keep on turnin′,
Proud Mary keep on burnin′.
And we rollin', rollin′, rollin' on the river.
Well we rollin′, rollin', rollin′ on the river.


Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis,
Pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans,
But I never saw the good side of the city,
'Til I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen.

Big wheels keep on turnin',
Proud Mary keep on burnin′.
And we rollin′, rollin', rollin′ on the river.
Well we rollin', rollin′, rollin' on the river.

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.

Big wheels keep on turnin',
Proud Mary keep on burnin′.
And we rollin′, rollin', rollin′ on the river.
Well we rollin', rollin′, rollin' on the river.
Rollin′, rollin', rollin' on the river.
Yeah we Rollin′, rollin′, rollin' on the river.
Rollin′, rollin', rollin′ on the river...
