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 wheels keep on turnin',
Proud Mary keep on burnin'.
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'.
Rollin'...rollin'...rollin' on the river
Rollin'...rollin'...rollin' on the river

If you come down to the river,
Bet you gonna find some people who live.
But 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'.
Rollin'...rollin'...rollin' on the river
Rollin'...rollin'...rollin' on the river
