1.PROUD MARY
Lyrics：J.C.Fogerty
Music：J.C.Fogerty
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.
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 don't 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.
2.DOWN ON THE CORNER
Lyrics：J.C.Fogerty
Music：J.C.Fogerty
Early in the evenin' just about supper time,
Over by the courthouse they're starting to unwind.
Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up.
Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp.
CHORUS：
Down On The Corner, out in the street,
Willy and the Poorboys are playin';
Bring a nickel; tap your feet.
Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile,
Blinky, thumps the gut bass and solos for a while.
Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo.
Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo.
CHORUS
CHORUS
You don't need a penny just to hang around,
But if you've got a nickel, won't you lay your money down？
Over on the corner there's a happy noise.
People come from all around to watch the magic boy.
CHORUS
CHORUS

3.BAD MOON RISING
Lyrics：J.C.Fogerty
Music：J.C.Fogerty
I see the bad moon arising.
I see trouble on the way.
I see earthquakes and lightnin'.
I see bad times today.
CHORUS：
Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.
I hear hurricanes ablowing.
I know the end is coming soon.
I fear rivers over flowing.
I hear the voice of rage and ruin.
CHORUS
All right!
Hope you got your things together.
Hope you are quite prepared to die.
Looks like we're in for nasty weather.
One eye is taken for an eye.
CHORUS
CHORUS
4.I HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE
Lyrics：N.Whitfield／B.Strong
Music：N.Whitfield／B.Strong
Oo, Bet you're wond'ring how I knew 'bout your plans to make me
blue
With some other guy that you knew before？
Between the two of us guys, you know I love you more.
It took me by surprise, I must say, when I found out yesterday.
Oo,
CHORUS：
I heard it through the grapevine, not much longer would you be
mine.
Oo, I heard it through the grapevine, and I'm just about to lose
my mind.
Honey, honey yeah.
You know that a man ain't supposed to cry, but these tears I
can't hold inside.
Losin' you would end my life you see, 'cause you mean that much
to me.
You could have told me yourself that you found someone else.
Instead,
CHORUS
People say you 'Hear from what you see, na na not from what you
hear.'
I can't help bein' confused; if it's true, won't you tell me
dear？
Do you plan to let me go for the other guy that you knew before？
Oo,
CHORUS
CHORUS
5.THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL(Traditional)
Arranger：J.C.Fogerty
Well, you wake up in the mornin', you hear the work bell ring,
And they march you to the table to see the same old thing.
Ain't no food upon the table, and no pork up in the pan.
But you better not complain, boy, you get in trouble with the
man.
CHORUS：
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me,
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me,
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me,
Let the Midnight Special shine a everlovin' light on me.
Yonder come miss Rosie, how in the world did you know？
By the way she wears her apron, and the clothes she wore.
Umbrella on her shoulder, piece of paper in her hand;
She come to see the gov'nor, she wants to free her man.
CHORUS
If you're ever in Houston, well, you better do the right;
You better not gamble, there, you better not fight, at all
Or the sheriff will grab ya and the boys will bring you down.
The next thing you know, boy, Oh! You're prison bound.
CHORUS
CHORUS
6.HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE RAIN？
Lyrics：J.C.Fogerty
Music：J.C.Fogerty
Someone told me long ago There's a calm before the storm,
I know; It's been comin' for some time.
When it's over, so they say, It'll rain a sunny day,
I know; Shinin' down like water.
CHORUS：
I want to know, Have you ever seen the rain？
I want to know, Have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day？
Yesterday, and days before, Sun is cold and rain is hard,
I know; Been that way for all my time.
'Til forever, on it goes Through the circle, fast and slow,
I know; It can't stop, I wonder.
CHORUS
Yeah!
CHORUS
7.BORN ON THE BAYOU
Lyrics：J.C.Fogerty
Music：J.C.Fogerty
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.
CHORUS：
Born On The Bayou;
Born On The Bayou;
Born On The Bayou.
Wish I was back on the Bayou.
Rollin' with some Cajun Queen.
Wishin' I were a fast freight train,
Just a chooglin' on down to New Orleans.
CHORUS
Do it, do it, do it, do it. Oh, Lord.
Oh get back boy.
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.
CHORUS
All right! Do, do, do, do.
Mmmmmmm, oh.
