Proud Mary
Ike & Tina Turner Lyrics
Why' 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
And we're rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Listen to the story
I 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
Rolling on 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
The proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling ,rolling
Rolling on the river
Said we're rolling, rolling ,rolling(rolling)
Rolling on the river (rolling on the river)
I 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
Rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
Rolling, rolling
Rolling on 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
Rolling on the river
Said we're rolling, rolling ,rolling
Rolling on the river
If you come down to the river
I bet you gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry if you got no money
People on the river are happy to give
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
Rolling, said rolling
Rolling on the river
Rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
Rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
Rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
Rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river

I feel you. But it's dna. The black woman is phenomenal and the vibes/ natural ability is similar. Transcends generations, music, cultures and countries. 🤷🏽♀️
