Proud Mary (Edit) - 2023 Remaster Songtext
von Tina Turner

Left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
(I was) worrying ′bout the way that things might have been

(You know that) big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling (rolling)
Rolling, yeah (rolling)
Rolling on the river (rolling on the river)

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
And I pumped a lot of ′tane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Until I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen


(You know) the big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling (rolling)
Rolling, yeah (rolling)
Rolling on the river (rolling on the river)
Said we're rolling (rolling)
Rolling, yeah (rolling)
Rolling on the river (rolling on the river)

Oh, I left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
Worrying ′bout the way things might have been

Big wheel keep on turning (turning)
Proud Mary keep on burning (burning)
Rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
Say we rolling, we rolling
Rolling on the river

We′re up, do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Alright!

Oh, I cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
And I pumped a lot of 'tane 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 turning (turning)
Proud Mary keep on burning (burning)
And we are rolling
Said we rolling, we are rolling on the river
I tell you we are rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river

We're up, do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Alright
Yeah!
Ooh-yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh

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

Big wheel keep on turning (turning)
Proud Mary keep on burning (burning)
And we are rolling, say we rolling
Now we are rolling on the river
Tell it one more time
Rolling (yeah)
Rolling (alright)
Rolling on the river (whoo, yeah)

We're up, do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do, yeah
Alright!
Alright
Uh-huh
