One, two, one, two, three, four

Left a good job in the city
I'm workin’ for the man ev'ry night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worryin’ 'bout the way things might have been

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

I cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of 'pane down in New Orleans
But I never saw good side of the city
’Til I hitched a ride on a riverboat 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
I 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'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
I said rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
