[Spoken]                                              [Ike singing]

You know, every now and then I think you
might like to hear something from us                  (Left a good job down in the city)
nice, and easy
But there's just one thing, you see,                  (Working for the man every night and day)
We never ever do nothing nice and easy                (But I never lost a minute of sleeping)
We always do it nice... and rough                     (Worried 'bout the way things might have been)
But we're gonna take the beginning of this song
and do it... easy                                     (Big wheels keep on turning)
But then we're gonna do the finish... rough
Rough... The way we do Proud Mary                     (Proud Mary keep on burning)

         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                                    Bm                 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                                   Bm                 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)

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