Johnny Paycheck "Proud Mary" |
(John C. Fogerty) Well, I left a good job in the city A workin' for the man every night and day And I never lost one minute of sleep While worryin' bout the way things might have been. Big wheels keep on turnin' Proud Mary keeps on burnin' I said rollin', rollin' Rollin' on the river. I cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis Copped a lot of cane down in New Orleans But I never saw the good side of the city Till I hitched a ride on this river boat queen Big wheels keep on turnin' Proud Mary keeps on burnin' I said rollin', rollin' Rollin' on the river. --- Instrumental --- Well, if you come down to the river Well, I bet you gonna find some people who live You don't have to worry if you have no money People on the river are happy to give I said the big wheels keep on turnin' Proud Mary keeps on burnin' I said rollin', rollin' Rollin' on the river. --- Instrumental --- I said rollin', rollin' Rollin' on the river...
