Proud Mary Lyrics

[Songtext zu „Proud Mary“ Ft. Stefanie Heinzmann]

[Refrain: Francine Jordi & Stefanie Heinzmann]
I left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
I was worrying 'bout the way the things might've been

You know that big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling, rolling yeah
Rolling on the river (the river)
What you say (the river)
Say one more time (the river)
The river

[Strophe 1: Francine Jordi & Stefanie Heinzmann]
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
Until I hitched a ridе on a riverboat queen
You know that big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning

And we're rolling, rolling, rolling yеah (rolling)
Rolling on the river

[Instrumental]
[Strophe 2: Francine Jordi & Stefanie Heinzmann]
If you come down to the river
I bet you gonna find some people who live
And you don't have to worry if you got no money
People on the river are happy to give

[Refrain: Francine Jordi & Stefanie Heinzmann]
You know that big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling on the river

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
