Proud Mary (Live) - Tom Jones

You know, every now and then

We 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 like to do things a little rough

So we're gonna take the beginning of this song and do it easy

Then we're gonna do the finish, we do it rough

'Cause thats the way we do 'Proud Mary'

And we're rolling on the river

Listen to the story now

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 that things might have been

Big wheels keep on turning

Oh, the proud Mary keep on burning

And we're rolling, rolling, yeah

Rolling on the river

Say, we're rolling, rolling

Rolling on the river

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 that things might have been

Big wheel keep on turning

Oh, proud Mary keep on burning

And we're rolling, rolling

Rolling on the river

Say we're 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

The people on the river are happy to give

Oh, big wheel keep on turning

Oh, the proud Mary keep on burning

And we're rolling, rolling

Rolling on the river

Say, we're rolling, rolling

Rolling on the river

Cleaned a lot of plates down in Memphis

Pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans

But I never saw the good side of the city

Until I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen

Oh, big wheel keep on turning

Oh, the proud Mary keep on burning

And we're rolling, rolling

Rolling on the river

Say, we're rolling, rolling

Rolling on the river
