Rollin', rollin', rollin' on a river
(This one's for you Artie)

Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleep'n
I was worryin' about the way things might have been

Big wheel keep on turnin'
Uh the Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we're rollin' (rollin')
Rollin' yeah (rollin'), rollin' on the river (oh rollin' on the river)
Said we're rollin' (rollin'), rollin' (rollin'), rollin' on the river (rollin' on the river)


So I left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleep'n
Worryin' about the way things might have been

Big wheel keep on turnin' (turnin')
Proud Mary keep on burnin' (burnin')
Rollin' (rollin'), rollin' (yeah), rollin' on the river (rollin' on the river)
Rollin' (rollin'), rollin' (yeah), rollin' on the river

Dub do do do
Dub do do do
Dub do do do
Ba dap ba yeah
Ba dap ba yeah
Ba dap bap bap bap bap ba da dap yeah!

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis yall (Memphis yall)
Pumped a lot of tane down in New Orleans (New Orleans)
But I never saw the good side of the city
Until I hitched a ride on the river boat queen
