Ike singing

D#

Together

D#(And we) Rolling, rolling, rolling on a river - Listen to the story now

D#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

A# Cm G#Big wheel a-keep on turnin', ooh the Proud Mary keep on burnin'

D#And we're rollin' (rolling), rollin' (rolling), rollin' on the river (rolling on the river)

D#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

A# Cm G#(You know that) Big wheels keep on turnin', ooh the Proud Mary keep on burnin'

D#And we're rollin' (rollin'), rollin' yeah (rollin'), rollin' on the river (rolling on the river)

Slow down

D# G# D#Said we're rollin' (rollin'), rollin' (rollin'), rollin' on the river (rolling on the river)

(faster until the end of the song)
