As I used to live in the forest, I personally loved this song. Its lyrics is meaningful. Simple but menaingful.
Normally I like Tina turner's version more than CCR's. But this version made me laugh. :-)
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.
CHORUS:
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.
CHORUS
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.
Thank you monty for posting this ...I smiled and im still smiling after watching. I love Tina Turner and most of her songs. Amazing woman who has been through her own personal journey and now a practicing buddhist for many years. I love a song what she sings but cant think of the name...but she first sang it with Ike Turner in the 60s I think...goes like....wont somebody help me...theres something on my mind...cant remeber the rest but will look it up later or tomorrow. Its the sound of her voice in the song I love amazing woman. Anyway...time for my bed soon. Night night
