"PROUD MARY"

"Tina Turner’s rearrangement of lyrics, live performance, and influential platform in a white-dominated industry empowered black women and ignited black feminism, especially of the working class even further."

Lyrics

You know, every now and then

I think you might like to hear something from us

Nice and easy

But there's just one thing

(I left a good job in the city)

You see we never ever do nothing

(Working for the man every night and day)

Nice easy

We always do it nice and rough

(And I never lost one minute of sleeping)

(And I was worrying 'bout the way things might have been)

So we're gonna take the beginning of this song

And do it easy

(Big wheel keep on turning)

Then we're gonna do the finish rough

(Proud Mary keep on burning)

This is the way we do Proud Mary

And we're rolling, rolling

Rolling on the river

Listen to the story

Left a good job in the city

(Down in the city)

Working for the man every night and day

And I never lost one minute of sleeping

I was worrying 'bout the way the things might have been

(You know that)

Big wheel keep on turning

Proud Mary keep on burning

And we're rolling

(Rolling)

Rolling yeah

(Rolling)

Rolling on the river

(Rolling on the river)

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis

(You know I have)

Pumped a lot of tane down in New Orleans

But I never saw all the good side of the city

Till I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen

(You know the)

Big wheel keep on turning

Proud Mary keep on burning

And we're rolling

(Rolling)

Rolling yeah

(Rolling)

Rolling on the river

(Rolling on the river)

Say we're rolling

(Rolling)

Rolling yeah

(Rolling)

Rolling on the river

(Rolling on the river)

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 the things might have been

Big wheel keep on turning

Proud Mary keep on burning

Rolling, rolling

Rolling on the river

Say we're rolling, rolling

Rolling on the river, river

Alright

I cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis

And I pumped a lot of tane down in New Orleans

But I never saw the good side of the city

Till I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen

Big wheel keep on turning

(Turning)

Proud Mary keep on burning

(Burning)

And we're rolling, rolling

We rolling on the river

I tell we're rolling, rolling

Rolling on the river, river

Alright

If you come down to the river

I bet you gonna find some people who live

And you don't have to worry if you got no money

People on the river are happy to give

Big wheel keep on turning

(Turning)

Proud Mary keep on burning

(Burning)

And we're rolling, I'd be rolling

I'd be rolling on the river

Tell me one more time

(Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river)

Alright, alright

Rolling, rolling

Rolling on the river

We're rolling, rolling

Rolling on the river

I tell you we're rolling, rolling

Rolling on the river

I tell you we're rolling, rolling

Rolling on the river

Alright

As a survivor of domestic abuse, Tina epitomizes the strength and determination of a survivor.
