Proud Mary (J.C. Fogerty)
Spoken:
You 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. 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.
(Slow)
Rolling, Rolling, Rolling on the river, listen to the story now.
Left a good job in the city, workin' for The Man ev'ry night and day,
And I never lost one minute of sleepin',
And I was worryin' 'bout the way that things might have been.
Big wheel keep on turnin', oooo, the Proud Mary keep on burnin',
And we're Rollin', rollin' yeah, said we're 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, 'til I hitched a ride on a
river boat queen.
repeat
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
(Fast)
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.
repeat
Do whop, do, do, do, do, do, Do, do,do, do, do,do, do, do Wooooo...
alright
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, 'til I hitched a ride on a
river boat queen.
repeat
Do whop, do, do, do, do, do, Do, do,do, do, do,do, do, do Alright, Yeah
If you come down to the river, I bet you gonna find some people who
live.
You don't have to worry if you have no money, people on the river are
happy to give.
repeat
Do whop, do, do, do, do, do, Do, do,do, do, do,do, do, do Alright ...
Yeah...
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river.
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river.
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river.

I found the original John Fogerty version that CCR recorded but I had to
break out the old Ike and Tina Turner's Greatest hits to get the spoken
part. Their version is slightly different from CCR's and I made the
modifications to the song as I heard them (and I listened to the thing
about 15 times to make sure). Hope this helps.
