Proud Mary Songtext
von The Peawees

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

Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin′
Rollin′, rollin', rollin′ on the river

Seen a lot of places in Memphis
I humped a lot of 'pane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
′Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen


Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin′
Rollin', rollin', rollin′ on the river

Well, I′m rollin', rollin′, rollin' 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 'cause you have no money
People on the river are happy to give

I said a big wheel keep on turnin′
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin′, rollin′ on the river
Rollin', rollin′, rollin' on the river
Let′s go
