Left a good job in the city
Working for the man ev'ry night and day
Then I never lost a minute of sleep
When worrying ’bout the way that things
might have been.
Big wheels keep on turning.
Proud Mary keeps on burning.
Rolling
rolling
rolling on the river.
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis.
Pumped a lot of ‘tane down in New Orleans.
But I never saw the good side of the city
’til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.
Big wheels keep on turning.
Proud Mary keeps on burning.
Rolling
rolling
rolling on the river.
If you come down to the river
Betcha gonna find the people who live
You don't have to worry though you have no money.
People on the river are happy to give.
Big wheels keep on turning.
Proud Mary keeps on burning.
Rolling
rolling
rolling on the river.
Ponosna Meri
Napuštam dobar posao u gradu
Radiš za čovjeka cijelu noć i dan
Nikad ni minute za san
Zabrinuta za mogući život
Okreni točak i pali
Ponosna Meri kreći i nastavi gorjeti
Kotrljaj,kotrljaj
Kotrljaj niz rijeku
Čisteći mnoge pločnike u Misisipiju
Iscrpljena od mnogo boli u Nju Orleansu
Nikad nisam vidjela dobru stranu ljudi
Dok se nisam ukrcala na kraljicu skitnica
Ako dođeš dole na rijeku
Naći ćeš neke ljude da žive
Nemoj se brinuti ako nemaš para
Ljudi na rijeci su srećni ako daruju
Big wheels keep on turning.
Proud Mary keeps on burning.
Beliki točak pokreći i kotrljaj
Ponosna Meri kreći i plamti
Dole na rijeci
Kotrljaj kotrljaj
Dole na rijeci
Kotrljaj kotrljaj
dole na rijeci
