Left a good job in the city
Working for a man ev'ry night and day
But I never lost a minute of sleep
I was worrying 'bout the way things might have been
Refrein: Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of pain in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Until I hitched a ride on a river boat queen
Refrein:
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
The people on the river are happy to give
