And we`re rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Listen to the story
I left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And i never lost one minute of sleeping
Worrying `bout the way things might have been
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud mary keep on burning
And we`re rolling, rolling
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
Till i hitched a ride on a riverboat queen
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud mary keep on burning
And we`re rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
If you come down to the river
I bet you gonna find some people who live
You don`t have to worry if you got no money
People on the river are happy to give
