Together
A#(And we) Rolling, rolling, rolling on a river - Listen to the story now
A#Left a good job (down) in the city,
Workin' for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
I was worryin' 'bout the way that things might have been
F Gm D#Big wheel a-keep on turnin', ooh the Proud Mary keep on burnin'
A#And we're rollin' (rolling), rollin' (rolling), rollin' on the river (rolling on the river)
A#Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
(And I) Pumped a lot of 'tane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
(Un)til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen
F Gm D#(You know that) Big wheels keep on turnin', ooh the Proud Mary keep on burnin'
A#And we're rollin' (rollin'), rollin' yeah (rollin'), rollin' on the river (rolling on the river)
Slow down
A# D# A#Said we're rollin' (rollin'), rollin' (rollin'), rollin' on the river (rolling on the river)
(faster until the end of the song)
