------

Left a good job in the city

workin' for the man ev'ry night and day
and I never lost one minute of sleepin'
worryin' 'bout the way things might have been.

Big wheels keep on turnin'

Proud mary keep on burnin'

rollin'
rollin'
rollin' on the river.

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis

pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans

but I never saw the good side of the city
until I hitched a ride on a roverboat queen.

Big wheels ...

If you come down to the river

bet you gonna find some people who live.
You don't have to worry 'cause you have no money

people on the river are happy to give.

Big wheels ...

Rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on the river.
Rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on the river.
Rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on the river.
