Lyrics

You know

Every now and then

I think you might like to hear

Left a good job something from us down in the city

Nice and easy

Working for the man

But there's just one thing you see every night and day

We never ever do nothing nice

But I never lost one minute of sleeping and easy

We always do it nice

Worrying 'bout the way and rough the things might have been

And we gonna take the beginning of this song and do it easy

Big wheel keep on turning

And then we're gonna do the finish rough proud Mary keep on burning

This is the way we do proud Mary

And we're rolling

Rolling

Rolling

Rolling

Rolling on the river

Rolling on the river

Listen to the story now

Left a good job in the city

Down in the city

Working for the man

Working for the man every night and day every night and day

And I never lost

And I never lost one minute of sleep, and I was one minute of sleep, and I was

Worrying about the way the

Worrying about the way the things might have been things might have been

Big wheel keep on

Big wheel keep on turning turning

Oh the proud Mary keep on burning

And we're rolling

Rolling

Rolling yeah

Rolling

Rolling on the river

Rolling on the river

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis

And I pumped a lot of 'tane

Pumped a lot of 'tane down in New Orleans down in New Orleans

But I never saw

But I never saw the good side of the city the good side of the city

Until I hitched a ride

Until I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen on the riverboat queen

You know the big wheel keep on

Big wheel keep on turning turning

Oh the proud Mary keep on burning

And we're rolling

Rolling

Rolling yeah

Rolling

Rolling on the river

Rolling on the river

Then we're rolling

Rolling

Rolling

Rolling

Rolling on the river

Rolling on the river

Oh I left a good job in the city

Working for the man every night and day

And I never lost one minute of sleep, and I

Worry 'bout the way things might have been

Big wheel keep on turning proud Mary keep on burning

Rolling, rolling

Rolling on the river

Rolling, say rolling rolling on the river

River, tooh, tooh tooh, tooh, tooh tooh, tooh, tooh tooh, tooh, tooh

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis ya

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 the riverboat queen

Big wheel keep on turning proud Mary keep on burning
