Text
1.
Left a good job in the city,
working for a man every night and day.
And I never lost one minute of sleeping,
I was worrin ībout the way things might have been!
Refrain
Big wheel keep on turning,
Proud mary keep on burning!
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river!
2.
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
until I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen!
Refrain
Big wheel keep on turning.
Proud mary keep on burning!
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the River!

If you came down to the river.
Bet you gonna find some people who live.
You donīt have to worry cause you have no money,
people on the river are happy to give!
