(J. Fogerty)



Left a good job in the city

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



CHORUS:

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

Until I hitched a ride on the river boat queen



CHORUS



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
