Proud Mary Songtext
von Johnny Hallyday

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

Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin′
And we′re rollin' (rollin′), rollin' (rollin′)
Rollin' on the river

Ooh, I cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of tain down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
′Til I hitched a ride on the Riverboat Queen

Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we′re rollin′ (rollin'), rollin′ (rollin')
Rollin′ on the river
Ooh, we're rollin′ (rollin'), rollin' (rollin′)
Rollin′ on the river
Rollin' on the river


He left a good job in the city
Workin′ for the man every night and day
But I never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worryin′ 'bout the way that things might have been

Big wheel keep on turnin′
And the proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we're rollin′ (rollin′), rollin' (rollin′)
Rollin' on the river
Get on and we′re rollin' (rollin′), rollin' (rollin')
Rollin′ on the river

I cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of tain down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
′Til I hitched a ride on the Riverboat Queen

Oh, big wheel, I keep on turning (turnin')
Yeah, a proud Mary keep on burning (burnin′)
'Cause we′re rolling (rollin'), I said rolling (rollin′)
Got me rolling on the river
Yeah, rolling (rollin'), I said, "Rolling" (rollin')
Got me rolling on the river

C′mon!


If you come down to the river
I bet you gonna find some people who live
You don′t have to worry if they got no money
The people on the river are happy to give

Big wheel keep on turnin' (turnin′)
Proud Mary keep on burnin' (burnin′)
We're rollin′ (rollin'), we're rollin′ (rollin′)
Rollin' on the river
Yeah, we′re rollin' (rollin′), rollin' (rollin′)
Rollin' on the river

Hey, yeah, we're rollin′ (rollin′), rollin' (rollin′)
Rollin' on the river
Down on here, we′re rollin' (rollin′), rollin' (rollin')
Rollin′ on the river
You know we′re rollin' (rollin′), rollin' (rollin′)
Rollin' on the river
Yeah, I know that we′re rollin' (rollin'), rollin′ (rollin′)
Rollin' on the river
