Proud Mary

Creedence Clearwater Revival

1. Left a good job in the city
   Working for the man every night and day
   And I never lost one minute of sleep
   Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been

R: The big wheel keeps on turnin',
   Proud Mary keeps on burnin'
   Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river


2. Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
   Pumped a lot of pain in New Orleans
   But I never saw the good side of the city
   Till I hitched a ride on the Riverboat Queen

R: The big wheel...

3. If you come down to the river
   Bet your gonna find some people who live
   You don't have to worry, cause you have no money
   The people on the river are happy to give

R: The big wheel...
