Testo Della Canzone

Proud Mary di Creedence Clearwater Revival

VERSIONE DEI CCR

Left a good job in the city,
Workin’ for the man ev’ry night and day,
And I never lost one minute of sleepin’,
Worryin’ ‘bout the way things might have been.
Chorus:
Big wheel keep on turnin’,
Proud Mary keep on burnin’,
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ on the river.

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis,
Pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans,
But I never saw the good side of the city,
‘Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.

Chorus

Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ on the river.

If you come down to the river,
Bet you gonna find some people who live.
You don’t have to worry ‘cause you have no money,
People on the river are happy to give.

Chorus

Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ on the river.
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ on the river.
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ on the river.

VERSIONE DI ELVIS PRESLEY

Left a good job in the city
Workin’ for the man every night and day
Haven’t ever lost one minute of sleeping
Worried about the way things might have been

Been a lot of places down in Memphis
I umped a lot of babes down in New Orleans
Had a lot of shots at good times in the city
Till I hitched a ride on a river bout queen

A big wheel keeps on turnin’
Proud Mary keeps on burnin’, rollin’, rollin’
Rollin’ on a river
Rollin, rollin, rollin on a river

If you come down to the river
I betcha you’re gonna find some people who live
You don’t have to worry
‘Cause you have no money
People along the river are happy to give

I said a big wheel keeps on turnin’
Proud Mary keeps on burnin’, rollin’, rollin’
Rollin’ on a river
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ on a river

  • Pietro ha detto:

    Tina Turner fece di questa canzone, come per “Let’stay together” di Al Green, un suo “cavallo di battaglia”.
    Bello Tina, farsi belli sul “lavoro” degli altri, ma in Italia ne succedono di 100.000 volte peggio!
    Bello Tina, specchiarsi nella gloria degli ……… altri!
