Proud Mary (the Funky Version) Lyrics - Ike Turner

You know, every now and then I think you wanna hear 

somethin from us, nice and easy 

Its 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 

And then we're gonna do the finish rough 

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 

Workin' for the man every night and day 

I never lost one minute of sleep 

Worryin' about the way things might have been 

Big wheels Keep on turnin

Proud Mary keeps on burnin' 

And we're rollin' 

Rollin, rollin on the river 

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 

a ride on the river boat Queen 

Big wheels Keep on turnin 

Proud Mary keeps on burnin' 

And we're rollin' 

Rollin, rollin on the river 

And we're rollin' 

Rollin, rollin on the river 

Left a good job in the city 

Workin' for the man every night and day

I never lost one minute of sleep 

Worryin' about the way things might have been 

Big wheels Keep on turnin 

Proud Mary keeps on burnin' 

And we're rollin' 

Rollin, rollin on the river 

And we're rollin' 

Rollin, rollin on the river 

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 

a ride on the river boat Queen 

Big wheels Keep on turnin 

Proud Mary keeps on burnin' 

And we're rollin' 

Rollin, rollin on the river 

And we're rollin' 

Rollin, rollin on the river 

If you come down to the river 

I betcha you're gonna find some people who live 

You don't have to worry 

If you got no money 

The people on the river are happy to give 

I said a big wheel keeps on turnin' 

Proud Mary keeps on burnin', rollin', rollin' 

Rollin' on a river 

Rollin', rollin' on a river 

Rollin', rollin' on a river 

Rollin', rollin' on a river 

Rollin', rollin' on a river 

Rollin', rollin' on a river 

Rollin', rollin' on a river...
