Left a good job in the city

Workin' for the man every night and day

Haven't ever lost one minute of sleepin'

Worried about the way

Things might have been

A big wheel keep on turnin'

Proud mary keep on burnin'

Rollin' rollin' rollin' on a river

Rollin' rollin' rollin' on a river

If you come down to the river

Betcha you're 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

I said a big wheel keep on turnin'

Proud mary keep 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 on the river are happy to give

I said a big wheel keep on turnin'

Proud mary keep on burnin'

Rollin' rollin' rollin' on a river

Rollin' rollin' rollin' on a river
