Proud Mary, cover, 8 string tenor uke

Originally by CCR, and then covered by others including Tina Turner.

Recording a bit flat, but my usual one-take rule applies.

Confusion reigns over one lyric. People think it's "pumped a lot of pain", when it was originally "pumped a lot of 'pane", meaning Propane, using on camping stoves. The Tina Turner version appears to change it to "pumped a lot of 'tane", referring to Butane (also used for the same purpose), presumably to avoid the confusion.

'Proud Mary' refers to the name of the river boat, which, in Missisippi, had a large paddle-wheel to drive them. At the time, it was the only feasible way to power the boats along that river, due to the depth and length. Modern ones (with fake wheels) still run there today.
