1. PROUD MARY

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.

CHORUS:
Big wheel keep on turning,
Proud Mary keep on burning,
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.

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

CHORUS

Rolling, rolling, rolling 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

Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.


Creedence Lyrics: Walk On The Water
Late last night, I went for a walk,
Down by the river near my home.
Couldn't believe, with my own eyes,
And I swear I'll never leave my home again.

I saw a man walking on the water.
Coming right at me from the other side.
Calling out my name; "Do not be afraid."
Feet begin to run, pounding in my brain;
I don't want to go; I don't want to go.

No, no, no, no, no...
I don't want to go.

Mmmmmmm...

And I swear I'll never leave my home again.

Coming right at me from the other side.
Calling out my name; "Do not be afraid."
Feet begin to run, pounding in my brain;
I don't want to go; I don't want to go.

No, no, no, no, no...
I don't want to go.

2. WALKIN' ON THE WATER

Late last night, I went for a walk,
Down by the river near my home.
Couldn't believe, with my own eyes,
And I swear I'll never leave my home again.

I saw a man walking on the water.
Coming right at me from the other side.
Calling out my name; "Do not be afraid."
Feet begin to run, pounding in my brain;
I don't want to go; I don't want to go.

No, no, no, no, no...
I don't want to go.

Mmmmmmm...

Seven Thirty Seven coming out of the sky.
Oh! Won't you take me down to Memphis on a midnight ride,
I wanna move.

CHORUS:

Well, I'm flying 'cross the land, try'ing to get a hand,

Listen to the radio, Talking 'bout the last show.
Someone got excited, Had to call the State Militia,
Wanna move.

Playing in a Traveling Band,

OH! WOW!

5. FEELIN'BLUE


Hey, look over yonder out in the rain,
Soakin' wet fever in my brain.
Now, I ain't certain which way to go,
But I got to move, sure.

CHORUS:
Feelin' Blue, blue, blue, blue, blue.
Feelin' Blue, blue, blue, blue, blue.
Feelin' Blue, blue, blue, blue, blue.
I'm Feelin' Blue. I'm Feelin' Blue.

Hey, look over yonder behind the wall,
They're closin' in I'm about to fall.
Now I'm no coward, but I ain't no cool
Feel it in my bones, my book is due.

CHORUS

Hey, look over yonder, up in the tree,
There's a rope hangin' just for me.
Without a warnin', without a warnin',
Things are pilin' up to break me down.

CHORUS

Hey, look over yonder, out in the street,
People laughin' by, walkin' easy.
Now, I'm no sinner, but I ain't no saint.
If it's happy, you can say I ain't.

CHORUS

I'm Feelin' Blue


6. GREEN RIVER

Well, take me back down where cool water flows, yeah.
Let me remenber the things I don't know,
Stopping at the log where catfish bite,
Walking along the river road at night,
Barefoot girls dancing in the moonlight.
I can hear the bullfrog calling me.
Wonder if my rope's still hanging to the tree.
Love to kick my feet 'way down the shallow water.
Shoefly, dragonfly, get back t'your mother.
Pick up a flat rock, skip it across Green River.
Welllllll!

Up at Cody's camp I spent my days, oh,
With flat car riders and cross-tie walkers
Old Cody, Junior took me over,
Said, "You're gonna find the world is smould'ring.
And if you get lost come on home to Green River."

Welllllll!
Come on home.


7. SAILOR'LAMENT

Woke up early feelin' light,
(Shame, it's a shame.)
Somebody got to me last night,
(Shame, it's a shame.)
Sat down for a friendly duel,
(Shame, it's a shame.)
With one-eyed jacks 'n' jokers, too,
(Shame, it's a shame.)

CHORUS:
Ooh, sailor man,
(Shame, it's a shame.)
Ooh, sailor man.
(Shame, it's a shame.)

Poormouth Henry turned on me,
(Shame, it's a shame.)
Said, "Boy, I'm gonna pick you clean."
(Shame, it's a shame.)

CHORUS

Oh!

Henry said, "Don't you mess that pile,"
(Shame, it's a shame.)
Had three aces 'n' he had five.
(Shame, it's a shame.)

CHORUS

Shame, it's a shame.

8. BORN TO MOVE


Ev'ry day I'm gonna strut that stuff.
When the music's loud I can't get enough.
Singing hi, singing hi,
Come on feet, Teach yourself to move.

People shuff'ling up and down again.
Unhappy faces aingt gonna get you in.
Singing hi, singing hi,
Come on people, Teach yourself to move.

Hey, hey! Hey, all right!
Spread the news, we're going have some fun.
Let it go, moving son-of-a-gun.
Singing hi, signing hi,
Come on feet, We was Born To Move.

Hey, hey, Lord! Come on, move it, now boy!


9. EFFIGY

Last night
I saw a fire burning on
The palace lawn.
O'er the land
The humble subjects watched in mixed
Emotion.

CHORUS:
Who is burnin'?
Who is burnin'?
Effigy.
Who is burnin'?
Who is burnin'?
Effigy.

Last night
I saw the fire spreadin' to
The palace door.
Silent majority
Weren't keepin' quiet
Anymore.

CHORUS

Last night
I saw the fire spreadin' to
The country side.
In the mornin'
Few were left to watch
The ashes die.

CHORUS

Why?
Why?
Why?
Effigy.
