Left a good job in the city

Workin’ for the man every night and day
而為了那個男人辛勞不分晝夜
And I never lost one minute of sleepin’

Worryin’ ’bout the way things might have been
來煩惱事情可能會是如何

Big wheel, keep on turnin’
輪子不停的旋轉
Proud Mary, keep on burnin’

Rollin’
翻滾著
Rollin’
翻滾著
Rollin’ on the river
在河流上滾動著.

Cleaned a lotta plates in Memphis
在曼菲斯洗了很多盤子
Pumped a lotta pane down in New Orleans

But I never saw the good side of the city
但我從未看見城市的光明面
Until I hitched a ride on the Riverboat Queen
直到我乘上皇后號航行


Big wheel, keep on turnin’
Proud Mary, keep on burnin’
Rollin’
Rollin’
Rollin’ on the river

If you come down to the river
如果你來到河邊
Bet you gonna find some people who live

You don’t have to worry

’Cause ya have no money

People on the river are happy to give

Big wheel, keep on turnin’
Proud Mary, keep on burnin’
Rollin’
Rollin’
Rollin’ on the river
Rollin’, rollin’...
