(POP)
LEFT A GOOD JOB IN THE CITY
WORKING FOR THE MAN EVERY NIGHT AND DAY
AND I NEVER LOST ONE MINUTE OF SLEEPING
WORRY IN ABOUT THE WAY THING NIGHT HAVE BEEN
BIG WHEEL KEEP ON TURNING
PROUD MARY KEEP ON BURNING
*** ROLLING ROLLING ROLLING ON THE RIVER
IF YOU COME DOWN TO THE RIVER
BUT 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 WHEEL KEEP ON TURNING
PROUD MARY KEEP ON BURNING
*** ROLLING ROLLING ROLLING ON THE RIVER
CLEANED A LOT OF PLATES IN MEMPHIS
PUMPED A LOT OF PAIN IN NEW ORLEANS
BUT I NEVER SAW THE GOOD SIDE OF THE CITY
UNTILL I HITCHED A RIDE ON THE RIVER BOAT QUEEN
BIG WHEEL KEEP ON TURNING
PROUD MARY KEEP ON BURNING
