Here’s a classic for my Songs of the Sea series. Ike and Tina Turner with “Rolling on the River’ (Proud Mary). Back in the days! Love this stuff!
I was recently ‘rolling down the river’ myself, complements to the great people of Minnesota. They put on a great party for the attendees of the TBEX, with great food, drinks, music and even a ride on a riverboat! I couldn’t help thinking of this song. 😉
Tina Turner – Rolling On De River Lyrics
 Send “Rolling On De River” Ringtone to your CellÂ
Y’ know, every now and then
I think you might like to hear something from us
Nice and easy
But there’s just one thing
You see we never ever do nothing
Nice and easy
We always do it nice and rough
So we’re gonna take the beginning of this song
And do it easy
Then we’re gonna do the finish rough
This is the way we do proud mary
And we’re rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Listen to the story
I 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 things might have been
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud mary keep on burning
And we’re 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
Till I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud mary keep on burning
And we’re rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
If you come down to the river
I bet you gonna find some people who live
You don’t have to worry if you got no money
People on the river are happy to give
Love this song too. Brings back great memories (plus I used to play it on my guitar when I was younger) 🙂
yeah, had a lot of good times back when that one first came out. 🙂
You still play guitar? I gave it up a long time ago but thinking I should try it again. I really do miss my music.
Great John Fogerty song. Never a Tina fan, I prefer CCR or Janis’ Versions.
Yeah, I like CCR better than Tina, but I thought this was one of her better songs. I’m not a big fan of Janet, but she did pretty good on this song. I also love her Me and Bobby McGee and Mercedes Benz
