You know, every now and then
I think you might like to
hear something from us,
nice and easy.
But there's just one thing, you see,
we never ever do nothing nice and easy.
We always do it nice and rough
But we're gonna take
the beginning of this song
And do it easy
But then we're gonna do the finish rough
The way we do
Proud Mary
Rollin' on the river
Listen to the story now
Left up the job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleep
And I was worried about the way
things might have been
Big wheel keep on turning
All the primary keep on burning
And we're rolling
Rollin', rollin', yeah, rollin' on the river
I said we're rollin', rollin',
rollin' on the river
Looking for a job in the city
I'm working for the man
every night and day
But I never lost one minute of sleep
And I was worried about the way
things might have been
His wheels keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Oh, rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
River, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
If you come down to the river
Oh, you bet you're gonna find
some people there
You don't have to worry if
you've got no money
The people on the river,
they're havin' a good time
And we'll keep on turnin'
Proud Mary, keep on burnin'
I'm rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
I'm rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
River, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, Rollin,
