Proud Mary
Tina Turner
DD[Ike DDsinging]
You know, every now and then I think youD
might like to hear something from us (Left a good job down in the city)
nice, and easy
But there's just one thing, you see, (Working for the man every night and day)
We never ever do nothing nice and easy (But I never lost a minute of sleeping)
We always do it nice and rough (Worried 'bout the way things might have been)
But we're gonna take the beginning of this song
and do it easy (Big wheels keep on turning)
But then we're gonna do the finish rough
Rough The way we do Proud Mary (Proud Mary keep on burning)
(And we) DRolling, rolling, rolling on a river Listen to the story now
