tell us one more time

Left a good job in the city,

Workin' for The Man ev'ry night and day,

But I never lost one minute of sleepin',

Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been.

CHORUS:
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin'--
rollin'--
rollin' on the river.

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis,
Pumped a lot of 'pane down in New Orleans,
But I never saw the good side of the city,
'Till I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.

Big wheel keep on turnin' --
Proud Mary keep on burnin'--
Rollin'
rollin'
rollin' on the river.

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

Big wheel keep on turnin',
Proud Mary keep on burnin',
Rollin'

rollin'

rollin' on the river.

{"Proud Mary," written, John Fogerty.
Recorded, Credence Clearwater Revival,
Bayou Country album -- released 1969.}

When Tina Turner performed that song later,
the chorus was adjusted, energized to --
Rollin' --
rollin' - yeah,
rollin' on the river...

(Tell-you-one-more-time) --
Rollin'
rollin' yeah,
rollin'...[etc.]
