Proud Mary Songtext
von John Fogerty with Jennifer Hudson feat. Allen Toussaint and Rebirth Brass Band

Left a good job down 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 wheel keep on turnin', well
Proud Mary keep on burnin′
We′re rollin', rollin′, rollin' on the river
We′re rollin', rollin′, rollin' on the river

Yeah
All right, now

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 wheel keep on turnin′, well
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
We′re rollin', rollin′, rollin' on the river
We're rollin′, rollin′, rollin' on the river


Get up, now
Get up

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 a river boat queen

Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin′
We're rollin′, rollin', rollin' on the river
We′re rollin′, rollin', rollin′ on the river

Ah, step it up
Step it up

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


Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin′
We're rollin', rollin′, rollin′ on the river
Rollin', rollin′, rollin' on the river
Rollin′, rollin', rollin′ on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin′ on the river
