Proud Mary

Proud Mary

She was just sixteen and all alone
When I came to be
So we grew up together
My mamma tellin' me
The things were better, she was scared
But whenever I would cry
She calmed my fears and dried my tears
With a rock and roll lullaby
And she sings shanna, na na... you'll be alright
Shanna, na na, na na... just hold on tight
Sing it to me mamma, sing it sweet and clear
Oh, mamma, I can hear that old rock and roll lullaby
Now we made it through the lonely days
But loving eyes were long
And the dreamer better moments
When mamma sang a song
Now I recall the words at all
They don't mean sense to try
'Cause I knew lots of love came through
In that rock and roll lullaby
And she sings shanna, na na... you'll be alright
Shanna, na na, na na... just hold on tight
I can hear you mamma, nothing move my soul
Like the sound of the good rock and roll lullaby
