117 - PROUD MARY (Creedence Clearwater Revival) 

 

Left a good job in the city 
Workin' for the man ev'ry night and day 
And I never lost one minute of sleepin' 
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been 

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


Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis 
Pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans 
But I never saw the good side of the city 
'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen 

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

 

Left a good job in the city 
Workin' for the man ev'ry night and day 
And I never lost one minute of sleepin' 
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been 

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

Give up dup dup dup, dup dup dup dup, dup dup dup dup

 

{Instrumental, changement de rythme}


So if you come down to the river 
Bet you gonna find some people who live 
You don't have to worry  if you have no money 
People on the river are happy to give 

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