Les paroles


1. Proud Mary

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

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 'pane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen

Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

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

Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river


2. Good Golly Miss Molly

Good golly, Miss Molly
Sure like to ball
Good golly, Miss Molly
Sure like to ball
When you're rockin' and a-rollin'
Can't hear your momma call

From the early early mornin' 'til the early early night
You can see Miss Molly rockin' at the house of blue lights

Good golly, Miss Molly
Sure like to ball
When you're rockin' and a-rollin'
Can't hear your momma call

Well, now momma, poppa told me, "Son, you better watch your step."
If I knew my momma, poppa, have to watch my pop myself

Good golly, Miss Molly
Sure like to ball
When you're rockin' and a-rollin'
Can't hear your momma call

We're going to the corner, gonna buy a diamond ring
Would you pardon me if it's a nineteen-carat golden thing?

Good golly, Miss Molly
Sure like to ball
When you're rockin' and a-rollin'
Can't hear your momma call

Good golly, Miss Molly
Sure like to ball
Good golly, Miss Molly
Sure like to ball
When you're rockin' and a-rollin'
Can't hear your momma call


3. Bootleg

Bootleg, bootleg
Bootleg, howl
Bootleg, bootleg
Bootleg, howl

Take you a glass of water
Make it against the law
See how good the water tastes
When you can't have any at all

Bootleg, bootleg
Bootleg, howl
Bootleg, bootleg
Bootleg, howl

Finding a natural woman
Like honey to a bee
But you don't buzz the flower
When you know the honey's free

Bootleg, bootleg
Bootleg, howl
Bootleg, bootleg
Bootleg, howl

Suzy maybe give you some cherry pie
But Lord, that ain't no fun
Better you grab it when she ain't looking
Because you know you'd rather have it on the run

Bootleg, bootleg
Bootleg, howl
Bootleg, bootleg
Bootleg, howl


4. Born on the Bayou

Now, when I was just a little boy
Standin' to my Daddy's knee
My poppa said, "Son, don't let the man get you
Do what he done to me."
'Cause he'll get you
'Cause he'll get you now, now

And I can remember The Fourth of July
Runnin' through the backwood bare
And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin'
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
Chasin' down a hoodoo there

Born on the Bayou
Born on the Bayou
Born on the Bayou, oh, oh

Wish I was back on the Bayou
Rollin' with some Cajun Queen
Wishin' I were a fast freight train
I'm just a-chooglin' on down to New Orleans

Born on the Bayou
Born on the Bayou
Born on the Bayou, do it, do it, do it, do it

Oh, Lord
Oh, get back, boy

And I can remember The Fourth of July
Runnin' through the backwood bare
And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin'
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
Chasin' down a hoodoo there

Born on the Bayou
Born on the Bayou
Born on the Bayou

All right! Do, do, do, do
Mm, oh
