Elvis Presley

Proud Mary

(words & music by John Fogerty)

Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man every night and day
Haven't ever lost one minute of sleeping
Worried about the way things might have been
A big wheel keeps on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin',
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on a river
Rollin, rollin, rollin on a river

If you come down to the river
I betcha you're gonna find some people who live there
You don't have to worry
'Cause you have no money
People along the river are happy to give
I said a big wheel keeps on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin',
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on a river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on a river (repeat)

2 Cleaned a lot of plates down 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 a riverboat queen

I said a big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin',
Now I´m rollin', rollin', rollin' on a river
Rollin, rollin, rollin on a river
