Left a good job in the city
Workin’ for the man every night and day
Than I’ve never lost one minute of sleeping
Worryin’ ’bout the way things might have been

Keep on turnin’
Rollin’ on a river
Keep on movin’
Keep on movin’
Rollin’ on a river

Been a lot of places down in Memphis
I umped a lot of babes down in New Orleans
Had a lot of shots at good times in the city
Till I hitched a ride on a river bout queen

If you come down to the river
Bets you gonna find some people who live
You don’t have to worry
’Though you have no money
People of the river are happy to give

Keep on movin’
Keep on movin’
Rollin’ on
Rollin’ on
Rollin’ on a river
Rollin’ on a river

Seen a lot of places in Memphis
Touched a lot of plane down in New 0rleans
But I never saw a good side of a city
Till I hitched a ride on a river bout queen

Keep on turnin’
Rollin’ on
Rollin’ on
Rollin’ on a river
Ye, ye
Rollin’ on a river

Keep on movin’
Keep on movin’
Rollin’ on a river
Keep on movin’
Keep on movin’
Rollin’ on a river
Keep on movin’
Keep on movin’
Rollin’ on a river
