NUTBUSH/PROUD MARY
A church house, gin house
School house, outhouse
On highway number nineteen
The people keep the city clean
They call it Nutbush, oh Nutbush
They call it Nutbush city limits
Hey Nutbush city!
Twenty-five was the speed limit
Motorcycle not allowed in it
You go the store on Fridays
You go to church on Sundays
They call it Nutbush,
Yeah Nutbush, oh yeah
They call it Nutbush city limits (Nutbush)
Nutbush city limits (Nutbush)
Nutbush city limits (Nutbush)
I left a good job 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've been
big wheel keep on turning (Turning)
Proud Mary keep on burning (Burning)
And we're rolling, rolling, rolling yeah
Rolling on the river
we're rolling, rolling, rolling yeah
Rolling on the river
(do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do - Alright!)
I 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
Until I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen
big wheel keep on turning (Tuning)
Proud Mary keep on burning (Burning)
And we're rolling, rolling, rolling yeah (rolling)
Rolling on the river
Say we're rolling (rolling) rolling yeah
Rolling on the river
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
Proud Mary keep on, heeeeeeeey (burning)
And we're rolling, rolling, rolling yeah (rolling)
Rolling on the river
Say we're rolling (rolling) rolling yeah
Rolling on the river
cus we're rolling (rolling) rolling yeah
Rolling on the river
Said we're rolling (rolling) rolling yeah
Rolling on the river
Oh I tell ya we're rolling (rolling) rolling yeah
Rolling on the river
rolling (rolling) rolling yeah
Rolling on the river
Yeaaaaaaaaaah!
