Proud Mary

In the unit 7 it appears the word proud, a difficult word to remember.

Here you are a famous song (Proud Mary = orgullosa Mary) with this word. It can help you to remember it.

It is Creedence Clearwater Revival‘s song. Other singers or groups have sang this song: Tina Turner, Elvis Presley, The Rolling Stones, ….

[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/0ROalKnVZfU" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]

You can sing the song if you like it

Left a good job in the city,
Workin for the man evry night and day,
And I never lost one minute of sleepin,
Worryin bout the way things might have been.

Chorus:
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 pain down in new orleans,
But I never saw the good side of the city,
til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.

Chorus

Rollin, rollin, rollin on the river.

If you come down to the river,
Bet you gonna find some people who live.
You dont have to worry cause you have no money,
People on the river are happy to give.

Chorus

Rollin, rollin, rollin on the river.
Rollin, rollin, rollin on the river.
Rollin, rollin, rollin on the river.
