Looking for a job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
Then I never lost one minute of my sleepin'
Worrying 'bout the way things might have been
Big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin'
Rollin' on the river
I've seen a lot of places like 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 the riverboat queen
Because, the big wheel keeps on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin'
Rollin' on the river
Now, if you come down to the river
I bet you gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry if you ain't got no money
The people on the river are happy to give
Because the big wheel keeps on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin'
Rollin' on the river
Looking for a job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
Then I never lost one minute of my sleepin'
Worrying 'bout the way things might have been
Big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin'
Rollin' on the river
Yes, just rollin', rollin'
Rollin' on the river
Rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin'
