Lyrics

Left a good job in the cit y,

work in’ for the man ev ’ry night and day.

And I nev er lost ry one min ute of sleep in’; wor ry’n’ ’bout the way er things a might have boat been.

Big wheel, keep on turn in’.

Proud Mar y keep on burn in’.

Roll in’,

roll in’,

roll in’ on the riv er.

Cleaned a lot of to in Mem phis,

pumped a lot of ’tane down in New Or leans.

But I nev er saw ry the good side of the y till I hitched a ride er on a riv er boat to Big wheel, keep on turn in’.

Proud Mar y keep on burn in’.

Roll in’,

roll in’,

roll in’ on the riv er.

in’ on the riv er.

in’ on the riv er.

Roll in’,

roll in’,

roll in’ on the riv er.

Roll in’,

roll in’,

roll in’ on the riv er.

in’ on the riv er.
