Version 1          Version 2   


Have a good job in the city
Workin' for the man every night and day
Haven't ever lost one minute of sleeping
Worried about the way things might have been
A big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burning, rollin' rollin'
Rollin' on a river
Rollin' rollin rollin' on a river


* If you come down to the river
I betcha you're gonna find some people who live (yeah)
You don't hav'ta worry (yeah)
Cause you have no money (yeah)
People along the river are happy to give
I said big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burning, rollin' rollin'
Rollin' on a river


(take it up)
Rollin' rollin rollin' on a river


* Repeat


Rollin' rollin rollin' on a river
