[Verse 1]
A                                              E
Well he likes black coffee, fried eggs and a well done T-bone steak
E                                                        D                       A
He likes a red dress and pearly white teeth and the flash of her pretty brown legs
          D                              A
He said back in the '30s, you know you never had it made
    B7                                         E
He worked as an engineer on the Ohio river, working for the Pittsburgh trade
 
 
[Verse 2]
A                                               E
At the inspection office in Louisville he had a desk for a very short time
E                                                 D                        A
And he played in a band on two different boats working for the Strackfus line
     D                                 A
And long ago he smoked reefer and he even made home brew
        B7                                   E
And the reefer come in through New Orleans back before World War II
 
 
[Chorus]
 A                                          E
He's just a feller worked on the river, All his life by a paddle wheel
E                                      D               A
You say he's old fashioned, Well that ain't no big deal
     D                                   A
Well it's too thick to navigate, And it's too thin to plow
    A              E                  A         E            A
So let him go on mama and don't put him down for it now

[Verse 3]
 A                                             E
Well he smokes an old I-bolt cigar, Says he doesn't miss it at all
E                                                       D                     A
But he still goes out and he makes a few trips in the summer and in the fall
        D                                          A
Oh, the railroad trains, the bus and planes are picking up the slack
     B7                                E
He's watching all those river towns slowly turn their backs
 
 
[Chorus]
 A                                          E
He's just a feller worked on the river, All his life by a paddle wheel
E                                      D               A
You say he's old fashioned, Well that ain't no big deal
     D                                   A
Well it's too thick to navigate, And it's too thin to plow
    A              E                  A         E            A
So let him go on mama and don't put him down for it now

[Verse 4]
A                                                           E
Well he comes from a real old-time way of life, He had to fight to just learn how
E                                                    D                    A
And he might even have voted for Nixon once but I'm sure he sees that now
      D                                      A
Well Friday night he makes the best damn Gumbo you'd ever want to eat
      B7                                         E
And Saturday morning 'fore everyone's up, he's gone off down to the fleet
 
 
[Chorus]
 A                                          E
He's just a feller worked on the river, All his life by a paddle wheel

[Verse 5]
A                                             E
You're as pretty as he is ugly and he's the happiest man alive
E                                       D                   A
Somehow you got him thinking that old men are back in style
      D                                          A
Now you see these Oysters Bienville and this baked potato skin
     B7                                 E
I eat 'em so I can grow up an' be, an old man just like him
 
 
[Chorus]
 A                                          E
He's just a feller worked on the river, All his life by a paddle wheel
