Proud Mary - The Petards

Proud Mary Lyrics

Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man every night and day
And I never lost a minute of sleepin'
An' worryin' 'bout the way things might have been
Big wheel 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
Till I hitched a ride on the river boat Queen
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Well if you come down to the river
Bet 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
The big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Alright rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
