H:     Left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
Haven't ever lost one minute of sleeping
Worried about the way things might have been

L:      Big wheel keeps on turning
Proud Mary keeps on burning,
rollin', rollin', Rollin' on a river

Obě:  Rollin', rollin', rollin' on a river

L:      What a say
singing a one time

H:     Rollin' on a river

L:      Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man every night and day

H:     Haven't ever lost one minute of sleeping
Worried about the way things might have been

L:      Big wheel keeps on turnin'
H:     Proud Mary keeps on burnin'

Obě:  rollin', rollin' rollin' on a river
rollin, rollin, rollin on a river

L:      Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of tane down in New Orleans
H:     But I never saw the good side of the city
Till I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen
