DB Cooper Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 I thought that 'Proud Mary' was about a steamboat, 'a riverboat queen' - hence the big wheel, rather than the wheels of steel... Always thought so, too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojorule Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Yeah - one of those girls might be your mother! Hmmm. If any of them had reached the age of 30 by then, she would now be more in the great-grandmother league. (Same age as HM Queen...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitargreg1993 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I thought that 'Proud Mary' was about a steamboat, 'a riverboat queen' - hence the big wheel, rather than the wheels of steel... same here... i've always thought it was about one of the steam boats on the Mississippi... Fogerty was always fascinated with the Mississippi Delta/Bayou area and the chorus goes "rollin, rollin, rollin' on a river...". Trains don't float. Anyway, I got one: "One Toke Over the Line" - Brewer & Shipley one of my personal favs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
