Soul City Survivors - Proud Mary lyrics

rate me

You know, every now and then<br />

We think you might like to hear something from us<br />

Nice and easy but there's just one thing you see<br />

We never ever do nothing nice and easy<br />

We always like to do things a little rough<br />

<br />

So we're gonna take the beginning of this song and do it easy<br />

Then we're gonna do the finish, we do it rough<br />

'Cause thats the way we do 'Proud Mary'<br />

And we're rolling on the river<br />

Listen to the story now<br />

<br />

Left a good job in the city<br />

Working for the man every night and day<br />

And I never lost one minute of sleeping<br />

Worrying 'bout the way that things might have been<br />

<br />

Big wheels keep on turning<br />

Oh, the proud Mary keep on burning<br />

And we're rolling, rolling, yeah<br />

Rolling on the river<br />

Say, we're rolling, rolling<br />

Rolling on the river<br />

<br />

Left a good job in the city<br />

Working for the man every night and day<br />

And I never lost one minute of sleeping<br />

Worrying 'bout the way that things might have been<br />

<br />

Big wheel keep on turning<br />

Oh, proud Mary keep on burning<br />

And we're rolling, rolling<br />

Rolling on the river<br />

Say we're rolling, rolling<br />

Rolling on the river<br />

<br />

If you come down to the river<br />

I bet you gonna find some people who live<br />

You don't have to worry if you got no money<br />

The people on the river are happy to give<br />

<br />

Oh, big wheel keep on turning<br />

Oh, the proud Mary keep on burning<br />

And we're rolling, rolling<br />

Rolling on the river<br />

Say, we're rolling, rolling<br />

Rolling on the river<br />

<br />

Cleaned a lot of plates down in Memphis<br />

Pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans<br />

But I never saw the good side of the city<br />

Until I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen<br />

<br />

Oh, big wheel keep on turning<br />

Oh, the proud Mary keep on burning<br />

And we're rolling, rolling<br />

Rolling on the river<br />

Say, we're rolling, rolling<br />

Rolling on the river
