Hopeton Lewis - Proud Mary

Left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleep
Worrying 'bout the way the things might have been

Big wheel a keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling (rolling), rolling (rolling)
Rolling on the river (rolling on the river)
Rolling (rolling), rolling (rolling)
Rolling on the river (rolling on the river)

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of tane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Until I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen

Big wheel a keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling (rolling), rolling (rolling)
Rolling on the river (rolling on the river)
Yes, we're rolling (rolling), rolling (rolling)
Rolling on the river (rolling on the river)

(..)

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 a keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling (rolling), rolling (rolling)
Rolling on the river (rolling on the river)
Yes, we're rolling (rolling), rolling (rolling)
Rolling on the river (rolling on the river)

Yes, we're rolling (rolling), rolling (rolling)
Rolling on the river (rolling on the river)
Yes, we're rolling..
