Left a good job in the city working for the man every night and day lyrics

You know, every now and then I think you might like to hear
Somethin' from us, nice and easy
There's just one thing you see
We never, ever do nothin' nice and easy
We always do it nice and rough
But we're gonna take the beginning of this song and do it easy
But then we're gonna do the finish rough

And we're rolling (Ooh), rolling (Ooh), rolling on the river

Left a good job in the city (Down in the city)
Workin' for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleep

(You know that) Big wheel keep on turnin
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we're rollin' (Rollin')

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
(You know I) And I pumped a lot of 'tane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of that city until I hitched

(You know the) Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we're rollin' (Rollin')
Rollin' yeah (Rollin'), rollin' on the river (Rollin' on the river)
Said we're rollin' (Rollin')

I left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleep

Big wheel keep on turnin' (Turnin')
Proud Mary keep on burnin' (Burnin')
Rollin'
Rollin', rollin' on the river
Said we're rollin'

Oh I 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 until I hitched

Big wheel keep on turnin' (Turnin')
Proud Mary keep on burnin' (Burnin')
And we're rollin'
Said we're rollin', we're rollin' on the river
I tell ya we're rollin'

Alright, yeah

If you come down to the river
I betcha you're gonna find some people who live
And you don't have to worry
If you got no money

Big wheel keep on turnin' (Turnin')
Proud Mary keep on burnin' (Burnin')
And we're rollin'
And we're rollin'
And we're rollin' on a river
Tell me one more time
Rollin' (Yeah)
Rollin' (Alright)

Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river (Yeah, alright now)
We're rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Said we're rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
I tell you we're rollin', we're rollin', we're rollin' on the river
Yeah, alright, uh-huh

Ike & Tina Turner( Ike feat. Tina Turner )Proud Mary - Edit
Y' know, every now and then
I think you might like to hear something from us
Nice and easy
But there's just one thing
You see we never ever do nothing
Nice and easy
We always do it nice and rough
So we're gonna take the beginning of this song
And do it easy
Then we're gonna do the finish rough
This is the way we do 'Proud Mary'

And we're rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Listen to the story

Left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
Worrying 'bout the way things might have been

Big wheel keep on turning
Proud mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river

The river
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

Till I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling

Rolling on the river
The river, say we rolling
Rolling, yeah, rolling on the river
The river

I left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
