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    Been a lot of places down in Memphis  I umped a lot of babes down in New Orleans  Had a lot of shots at good times in the city  Till I hitched a ride on a river bout queen    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  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    these lyrics are submitted by bbbbbbbb
