Left a good job in the city
Workin for the Man every night and day
But I never lost a 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 tane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of a city
Til I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen
If you come down to the River
Bet youre gonna find some people who live
You dont have to worry cause you have no money
People on the river are happy to give
