[Verse 1]
F# C#
Well he likes black coffee, fried eggs and a well done T-bone steak
C# B F#
He likes a red dress and pearly white teeth and the flash of her pretty brown legs
B F#
He said back in the '30s, you know you never had it made
G#7 C#
He worked as an engineer on the Ohio river, working for the Pittsburgh trade
[Verse 2]
F# C#
At the inspection office in Louisville he had a desk for a very short time
C# B F#
And he played in a band on two different boats working for the Strackfus line
B F#
And long ago he smoked reefer and he even made home brew
G#7 C#
And the reefer come in through New Orleans back before World War II
[Chorus]
F# C#
He's just a feller worked on the river, All his life by a paddle wheel
C# B F#
You say he's old fashioned, Well that ain't no big deal
B F#
Well it's too thick to navigate, And it's too thin to plow
F# C# F# C# F#
So let him go on mama and don't put him down for it now
[Break]

[Verse 3]
F# C#
Well he smokes an old I-bolt cigar, Says he doesn't miss it at all
C# B F#
But he still goes out and he makes a few trips in the summer and in the fall
B F#
Oh, the railroad trains, the bus and planes are picking up the slack
G#7 C#
He's watching all those river towns slowly turn their backs
[Chorus]
F# C#
He's just a feller worked on the river, All his life by a paddle wheel
C# B F#
You say he's old fashioned, Well that ain't no big deal
B F#
Well it's too thick to navigate, And it's too thin to plow
F# C# F# C# F#
So let him go on mama and don't put him down for it now

[Verse 4]
F# C#
Well he comes from a real old-time way of life, He had to fight to just learn how
C# B F#
And he might even have voted for Nixon once but I'm sure he sees that now
B F#
Well Friday night he makes the best damn Gumbo you'd ever want to eat
G#7 C#
And Saturday morning 'fore everyone's up, he's gone off down to the fleet
[Chorus]
F# C#
He's just a feller worked on the river, All his life by a paddle wheel
C# B F#
You say he's old fashioned, Well that ain't no big deal
B F#
Well it's too thick to navigate, And it's too thin to plow
F# C# F# C# F#
So let him go on mama and don't put him down for it now

[Verse 5]
F# C#
You're as pretty as he is ugly and he's the happiest man alive
C# B F#
Somehow you got him thinking that old men are back in style
B F#
Now you see these Oysters Bienville and this baked potato skin
G#7 C#
I eat 'em so I can grow up an' be, an old man just like him
[Chorus]
F# C#
He's just a feller worked on the river, All his life by a paddle wheel
C# B F#
You say he's old fashioned, Well that ain't no big deal
B F#
Well it's too thick to navigate, And it's too thin to plow
F# C# F# C# F#
So let him go on mama and don't put him down for it now
