Proud Mary

Tina Turner - Proud Mary (1993 Version)

You know, every now and then

I think you might like to hear something from us

Nice and easy but there's just one thing

You see, we never ever do nothing nice and easy

We always do it nice and rough

So we're gonna take the beginning of this song and do it easy

Then we're gonna do the finish rough

This is the way we do 'Proud Mary'

And we're rolling, rolling, rolling on the river

Listen to the story

Left a good job in the city

Working for the man every night and day

And I never lost one minute of sleeping

Worrying 'bout the way that things might have been

Big wheel keep on turning

Proud Mary keep on burning

And we're rolling, rolling

Rolling on the river

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis

I pumped a lot of tane down in New Orleans

But I never saw the good side of the city

Until I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen

Big wheel keep on turning

Proud Mary keep on burning

And we're rolling, rolling

Rolling on the river

Say, we're rolling, rolling

Rolling on the river

I left a good job in the city

Working for the man every night and day

And I never lost one minute of sleeping

Worrying 'bout the way things might have been

Big wheel keep on turning

Proud Mary keep on burning

Rolling, rolling

Rolling on the river

Say, we're rolling, rolling

Rolling on the river, the river

I cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis

And I pumped a lot of tane down in New Orleans

But I never saw the good side of the city

'Til I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen

Big wheel keep on turning

Proud Mary keep on burning

And we're rolling, so we're rolling

And we're rolling on the river

I tell you, we're rolling, rolling

We're rolling on the river

If you come down to the river

I bet you gonna find some people who live

And you don't have to worry if you got no money

People on the river are happy to give

Big wheel keep on turning

Proud Mary keep on burning

And we're rolling and we're rolling

And we're rolling on the river

Tell me one more time

(Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river)
