| Bb | | Left a good job in the city, |
|
Workin’ for the man every night and day, |
|
And I never lost one minute of sleepin’, |
|
Worryin’ ’bout the way things might have been, |
|
|
| | F | | | Big wheel a-keep on turnin’, |
|
| | Eb | | | Proud Mary keep on burnin’, |
|
|
|
|
| Bb | | 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, |
|
Till I hitched a ride on a river boat queen. |

| Bb | | If you come down to the river, |
|
Bet you’re 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. |
