Proud Mary

John Fogerty (b. 1945)

arr. Sharon (b. 1967)

 

I left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleep
Worrying 'bout the way things might have been

 

Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling
Rolling 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 the city
'Till I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen

 

Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
