(J.C. Fogerty) Left a good job in the city Working for the man both night and day But I never lost a minute of sleep Worrying 'bout the way things might have been Big wheel, keep on turning Proud Mary, keep on burning Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis I said I pumped a lot of tan in New Orleans But I never saw the good side of a city Till I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen I said you know that I'm rolling, rolling You know that I'm rolling' on the river Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river If you come down to the city Bet you gonna find some people who live You don't have to live if you ain't got no money People on the river that know how to give You know I said that I'm rolling, rolling I'm rolling on the river I gotta keep on turning, burning, rolling down the river...
