PROUD MARY 

LEFT A GOOD JOB IN THE CITY
WORKING FOR MAN EVERY NIGHT AND DAY
BUT I NEVER LOST ONE MINUTE OF SLEEPING
WORRYING 'BOUT THE WAY THINGS MIGHT HAVE0 BEEN
BIG WHEELS 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 DOWN IN NEW ORLEANS
BUT I NEVER SAW THE GOOD SIDE OF THE CITY
TILL I HITCHED A RIDE ON A RIVER BOAT QUEEN

BIG WHEELS KEEP ON TURNING PROUD MARY KEEP ON BURNING
ROLLING ROLLING ROLLING ON THE RIVER

IF YOU COME DOWN TO THE RIVER
BET YOU GONNA FIND SOME PEOPLE WHO LIVE
BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY IF YOU GOT NO MONEY
PEOPLE ON THE RIVER ARE HAPPY TO GIVE

BIG WHEELS KEEP ON TURNING PROUD MARY KEEP ON BURNING
ROLLING ROLLING ROLLING ON THE RIVER

(REPEAT LAST LINE TWICE AND END)
