| Left a good job | | |
| Working for The Man every | | |
| And I never lost one minute of sleeping, | | |
| Worrying 'bout the way things | | |
Big wheel keep on turning,
| | |
Proud Mary keep on burning,
| | |
| Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river. | | |
| Cleaned a lot of plates | | |
| Pumped a lot of 'tane down | | |
| But I never saw the good side of the city, | | |
| Until I hitched a ride on a | | |
Big wheel keep on turning,
| | |
Proud Mary keep on burning,
| | |
| Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river. | | |
| Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river. | | |
| If you come down | | |
| Bet you gonna find some people who live. | | |
| You don't have to worry 'cause you | | |
| People on the river are | | |
Big wheel keep on turning,
| | |
Proud Mary keep on burning,
| | |
| Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river. | | |
