I left
a good job in the city
Workin' for the man every night and day
But I never lost a minute of sleep
And worryin' about the way
things might have been
I think we'll keep on turnin'
Our pride may be keep
on burnin'
Rollin', rollin'
Rollin' on the river
Seen a lot of places in Memphis
Hitched a lot of planes
down to New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Till I hitch a ride on the riverboat queen
Big wheels keep on turnin'
Uh -huh, bribery keep on burnin'
Uh -huh, rollin', rollin'
Rollin' on the river
Come on now, pick it up, pick it up,
pick it up, pick it up, let's go.
Rollin' on, rollin' on
Rollin' down the river
If you go down to the river
If you go to find the people who live
You don't have to worry
Though you got no money
Feet but on the river are happy together
I think we'll keep on turnin'
Our pride may we keep
on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin' out the river, rollin',
rollin', rollin' out the river
Oh, we gotta go, go, go, rollin', rollin'
