Verse 1

Left a good job in the city, workin' for the man every night and day

And I never lost one minute of sleepin', worryin' 'bout the way things might have been

ABm

Big wheel keep on turnin', Proud Mary keep on burnin'

Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

Verse 2

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis, pumped a lot of pane down in New Orleans

But I never saw the good side of the city, 'til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen

ABm

Big wheel keep on turnin', Proud Mary keep on burnin'

Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

Verse 3

If you come down to the river, bet you're 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

ABm

Big wheel a-keep on turnin', Proud Mary keep on burnin',

Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
