Proud Mary
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.
CHORUS:
Big wheel 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 'pane down in New Orleans,
But I never saw the good side of the city,
'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.
CHORUS
Big wheel keep on turnin',
Proud Mary keep on burnin',
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river.
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.
CHORUS
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river.
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river.
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river. |
Saint Mary
Election time in the city,
Listenin' to the voters ev'ry night and day,
And I never lost one minute of dreamin',
Worryin' 'bout the way things might begin.
CHORUS:
Cartwheels keep on turnin',
Saint Mary keep on earnin',
Pollin', Pollin', Pollin' the voters.
Named after the Mother of Jesus,
Passed a lot down in new ordnances,
But I never saw the good side of the city,
'Til I saw the town work so well as a team.
CHORUS
Cartwheels keep on turnin',
Saint Mary keep on earnin',
Pollin', Pollin', Pollin' the voters.
If you come down to our city,
Bet you gonna find some people who're native.
You don't have to hurry
'cause it's not so funny,
People in the cemetery were happy to live.
CHORUS
Pollin', Pollin', Pollin' the voters.
Pollin', Pollin', Pollin' the voters.
Pollin', Pollin', Pollin' the voters. |
