Proud Mary by Tina Turner

Left a good job down in the city
Workin' for the Man every night and day
But I never lost one minute of sleepin'
I was worryin' 'bout the way things might have been

Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we're rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

Listen to the story

Left a good job down in the city
Workin' for the Man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
And I was worryin' 'bout the way that things might have been

You know that big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we're rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
You know I pumped a lot of 'tane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Until I hitched a ride on the river boat queen

You know that big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we're rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
We're rolling on the river

Say we're rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river,
We're rolling on the river

I left a good job in the city
Workin' for the Man every night and day
And I never lost a minute of sleepin'
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been

Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Say we're rollin', we're rollin', rollin' on the river

Alright

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 a city
'Til I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen

Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we're rollin', so we're rollin', we're rollin' on the river
I tell you we're rollin', rollin', we're rollin' on the river

Alright

If you come down to the river
I bet you're 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

Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we're rollin', and we're rollin', and we're rollin' on the river
Tell me one more time
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

Alright

Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Alright then
We're rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

So we're rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
I tell you we're rollin', we're rollin', we're rollin' on the river

Alright

A good song. But Tina didn’t write it. But she sure as shit reinvented it. I’d much rather watch her version than credence. I especially appreciated the grutuitus crotch shots. Tina is indeed rad. That would have been a concert I would have maybe enjoyed.

Tina really did make this her song, which is impressive

Usually it's hard to take a hit song and make it better, unless of course it's a Dylan tune

I would've loved to go see concerts in the 60's and 70's

They seemed to be quite the experience

Tina in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome was something all right

But c'mon, it was the mid 80's

Which then begs the question - What's love got to do with it?
