About Proud Mary

Written by American singer and guitarist John Fogerty, Proud Mary was first recorded by rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival in 1969. But in 1971, a cover version was released by Ike & Tina Turner that differed greatly from the structure of the original, rearranged by Soko Richardson and Ike Turner, including a sultry, slow opening and spoken-word intro by Tina Turner. Ike & Tina Turner's Proud Mary were originally released in the album Workin' Together in late 1970, and in early 1971 as single, both by Liberty Records. .

Proud Mary Lyrics

[00:40.78] Rollin', rollin'
[00:45.23] Rollin' on the river
[00:51.12] I left a good job down in the city
[00:55.14] Working for the man every night and day
[00:59.91] But I never lost one minute of sleeping
[01:04.29] I was worrying 'bout the way that things might have been
[01:09.08] Big wheel keep on turning
[01:13.53] And a proud Mary keep on burning
[01:18.33] And we're rolling, rolling
[01:21.23] Rolling on the river
[01:28.72] I cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
[01:32.59] You know, I pumped a lot of 'pane down in New Orleans
[01:37.52] But I never saw the good side of the city
[01:42.13] Until I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen
[01:47.47] Big wheels keep on turning
[01:51.26] And a proud Mary keep on burning
[01:56.22] And we're rolling, rolling
[02:01.03] Rolling on the river
[02:05.39] Said, we're rolling, rolling
[02:11.30] Rolling on the river
[02:14.70] The river, the river, the river
[02:30.73] Left a good job in the city
[02:33.37] Working for the man every night and day
[02:36.36] I never lost one minute of sleeping
[02:39.79] Worrying 'bout the way things might have been
[02:42.12] Big wheel keep on turning
[02:44.58] Proud Mary keep on burning
[02:47.28] And we're rolling, rolling
[02:50.17] Rolling on the river
[02:52.54] Say, we're rolling, rolling
[02:55.74] Rolling on the river, the river
[02:58.15] Hey!
[03:13.18] Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
[03:15.76] Pumped a lot of 'pane down in New Orleans
[03:18.10] I never saw the good side of the city
[03:21.39] 'Till I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen
[03:24.63] Big wheel keep on turning
[03:26.47] Proud Mary keep on burning
[03:29.40] And we're rolling, rolling
[03:32.67] Rolling on the river
[03:34.79] And we're rolling, rolling
[03:37.91] Rolling on the river
[03:46.27] Hey!
[03:55.20] If you come down to the river
[03:57.65] I bet you gonna find some people who live
[04:00.65] Ou don't have to worry if you got no money
[04:02.26] People on the river are happy to give
[04:06.27] Big wheel keep on turning
[04:08.67] Proud Mary keep on burning
[04:11.04] And we're rolling and we're rolling
[04:13.98] And we're rolling on the river
[04:22.77] Tell me one more time
[04:32.09] Yeah, all right, ooh, yeah
[04:35.83] Yeah, all right, ah-ha, whoo
[04:36.63] Yeah
[04:37.19] All right, now
[04:37.96] Yeah, rolling, rolling on the river

[04:46.27] I tell you they're rolling, a-rolling, a-rolling on the river
[04:51.52] Yeah, all right, ah-ha
[04:55.07]
