Rolling on the river!

Yesterday I heard a street musician sang that song on Leicester Square and I fell in love with it!






Lyrics:
Y' 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
This is the way we do proud mary
And we're rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Listen to the story



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 

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 
Until I hitched a ride on a river boat queen 

Big wheel, keep on turning 
Proud Mary, keep on burning 
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river 

Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river 
If you come down to the river 
Bet you gonna find some people who live 
You don't have to worry 'cause you have no money 
People on the river are happy to give 

Big wheel, keep on turning 
Proud Mary, keep on burning 
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river 

Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river 
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river 
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
