Lyrics

(Words & music by john fogerty)
Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man every night and day
But I never lost one minute of sleeping
Worring about the way things might have been

Cleaned a lot of plates in memphis
I pumped a lot of 'pane down in new orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Till I hitched a ride on a river bout queen

A big wheel keeps on turnin'
Proud mary keeps on burnin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin' on a river
Rollin, rollin, rollin on a river

If you come down to the river
I betcha you're gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry
'Cause you have no money
People along the river are happy to give

I said a big wheel keeps on turnin'
Proud mary keeps on burnin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin' on a river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on a river
