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

Rock me baby, rock me all night long
I said i want you to
Rock me baby, rock me all night long
I want you to rock me like my back ain't got no bones

Roll me daddy like you roll your flour dough
Want you to
Roll me daddy like you roll your flour dough
I want you to roll me till i won't no more

When you see me coming go get your rockin' chair
When you see me coming go get your rockin' chair
I want you to rock me, rock me away from here

Rock me baby, rock me all night long
I said i want you to
Rock me baby, rock me all night long
I want you to rock me like my back ain't got no bones

Roll me daddy like you roll your flour dough
I said i want you to
Roll me daddy like you roll your flour dough
I want you to roll me till i won't no more

Previously recorded by ike and tina as "tina's prayer"
B-side of the "i don't wanna fight" single

I'm talking to the priest
The high priest
And everybody out there in the universe
If what i'm saying is wrong
Then tell me the right way to say it
Cause i wanna be made over

Paint me red, paint me green
Give me liberty, wash me clean
Make me over, make me nice
Cause when i'm done, lord, i wanna be right

Hey lord
Make me over, i wanna be made over
Hey lord
Make me over, i wanna be made over

Make me smart, make me king
Give a lot, give me steam
I want eternal beauty, spiritual things
Cause when i'm done, yes i wanna be a good thing

Hey lord
Make me over, i wanna be made over
Hey lord
Make me over, i wanna be made over

I wanna go places, i wanna do some things
I wanna be a star, i wanna have a big name
But in my heart, let beauty reign
And when i'm done, i wanna have fame

Lord make me nice, lord make me good
Give me power, give me love
I wanna be desireable, voluptous, tenderlized

So who are you gonna turn to when the light is fading
Who are you gonna run to when the rain sets in
Who do you come to when the blues comes calling
Who are you trying to fool coming around here again
Yes, i heard you found a new plaything
Right now it seems you need a friend

Why don't you stay a while
Just till the night is through
Tell me you're lonely, baby, i'm lonely, too
So stay awhile
I'll stay ahile

All i ever wanted was a shoulder to lean on
And all you ever wanted was a dream that would last
Promises made in the heat of the moment
I know i never told you that was too much to ask
But it won't take much gentle persuasion
To make you remember, make me forget

You may not be a knight in white satin
Maybe the best was all in the past
Turn the lights low, lay down beside me
Just till the dawn, i don't want you to go

Tell me you want me
Baby, i need you too
Stay awhile

There's something on my mind
Won't somebody please, please tell me what's wrong

You're just a fool, you know you're in love
You've got to face it to live in this world
You take the good along with the bad
Sometimes you're happy and sometimes you're sad
You know you love him, you can't understand
Why he treats you like he do when he's such a good man

He's got me smiling when i should be ashamed
Got me laughing when my heart is in pain
Oh no, i must be a fool
Cause i do anything you ask me to

Without my man i don't wanna live
You think i'm lying but i'm telling you like it is
He's got my nose open and that's no lie
And i, i'm gonna keep him satisfied

A wave of action speaks louder than words
The truest thing that i ever heard
I trust my man and all that he do
And i, and i do anything you ask me to

I'm a new pair of eyes everytime i am born
An original mind because i just died
And i'm scanning the horizon
For someone recognizing that i might have been queen
For every sun that sets there is a new one dawning
For every empire crushed there is a brand new nation
Let the waters rise, i have ridden each tide
From the gates of the city where the first born died

And i might have been queen
I remember the girl in the fields with no name
She had a love
But the rivers won't stop for me
No, the rivers won't stop to me

I'm a new pair of eyes, an original mind
With my senses of old and the heart of a giant
And i'm searching through the wreckage
For some recollection that i might have been queen
For every sage that falls there's an ancient child

And i might have been queen
I remember the girl in the fields with no name
She had a love
But the rivers won't stop for me
No, the rivers won't stop to me

I look up to the stars with my perfect memory
I look through it all and my future is no shock to me
I look down but i see no tragedy
I look up to the stars till i find my destiny
I look up to my past, a spirit running free
I look down, i look down and i'm there in history
I'm a soul survivor

A soul survivor
On the river
But it won't stop

it's gonna work out fine
