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, ´Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.
[Chorus]
Rollin´, rollin´, rollin´ 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.
[Chorus]
Rollin´, rollin´, rollin´ on the river. Rollin´, rollin´, rollin´ on the river. Rollin´, rollin´, rollin´ on the river.
