[Verse 1]
Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worryin' about the way things might've been

[Chorus]
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we're rollin', rollin'
Rollin' on the river

[Verse 2]
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
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 a riverboat queen

[Chorus]
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we're rollin' (rollin'), rollin' (rollin')
Rollin' on the river
And we're rollin' (rollin'), rollin' (rollin')
Rollin' on the river (Hey!)
[Verse 3]
If you come down to the rivеr
Bet you're gonna find some pеople who live
You don't have to worry 'cause you have no money
People on the river are happy to give

[Chorus]
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we're rollin' (rollin'), rollin' (rollin')
Rollin' on the river
And we're rollin' (rollin'), rollin' (rollin')
Rollin' on the river

[Verse 4]
Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worryin' about the way things might've been

[Chorus]
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we're rollin' (rollin'), rollin' (rollin')
Rollin' on the river
And we're rollin' (rollin'), rollin' (rollin')
Rollin' on the river
And we're rollin' (rollin'), rollin' (rollin')
Rollin' on the river (Hey!)
[Outro]
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
