About Proud Mary
Proud Mary is a song written by American singer and guitarist John Fogerty. It was first recorded by rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival (in which Fogerty played lead guitar and sang lead vocals) on the 1969 album Bayou Country. Proud Mary has, over the years, been covered by a number of artists. In 1971, a cover version was released by Ike & Tina Turner that differed greatly from the structure of the original, but is also well known and has become one of Tina’s most recognizable signature songs. .
Proud Mary Lyrics
[00:04.29] You know, every now and then I think you might like to hear
[00:10.45] Somethin' from us, nice and easy
[00:16.81] There's just one thing you see
[00:20.24] We never, ever do nothin' nice and easy
[00:27.41] We always do it nice and rough
[00:32.78] But we're gonna take the beginning of this song and do it easy
[00:39.19] But then we're gonna do the finish rough
[00:44.60] That's the way we do Proud Mary
[00:47.80] And we're rolling (Ooh), rolling (Ooh), rolling on the river
[00:56.42] Listen to the story
[00:58.63] Left a good job in the city (Down in the city)
[01:03.99] Workin' for the man every night and day
[01:08.95] And I never lost one minute of sleep
[01:14.04] (And I was) Worryin' about the way that things might have been
[01:19.31] (You know that) Big wheel keep on turnin
[01:25.09] Proud Mary keep on burnin'
[01:29.73] And we're rollin' (Rollin')
[01:33.39] Rollin' yeah (Rollin'), rollin' on the river (Rollin' on the river)
[01:40.95] Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
[01:45.32] (You know I) And I pumped a lot of 'pane down in New Orleans
[01:51.01] But I never saw the good side of that city until I hitched
[01:58.23] A ride on the river boat Queen
[02:01.49] (You know the) Big wheel keep on turnin'
[02:07.27] Proud Mary keep on burnin'
[02:11.85] And we're rollin' (Rollin')
[02:15.24] Rollin' yeah (Rollin'), rollin' on the river (Rollin' on the river)
[02:22.01] Said we're rollin' (Rollin')
[02:25.75] Rollin' yeah (Rollin'), rollin' on the river (Rollin' on the river)

[02:49.48] Workin' for the man every night and day
[02:52.16] And I never lost one minute of sleep
