[Verse 1]
C                                              G
Well he likes black coffee, fried eggs and a well done T-bone steak
G                                                        F                       C
He likes a red dress and pearly white teeth and the flash of her pretty brown legs
          F                              C
He said back in the '30s, you know you never had it made
    D7                                         G
He worked as an engineer on the Ohio river, working for the Pittsburgh trade
 
 
[Verse 2]
C                                               G
At the inspection office in Louisville he had a desk for a very short time
G                                                 F                        C
And he played in a band on two different boats working for the Strackfus line
     F                                 C
And long ago he smoked reefer and he even made home brew
        D7                                   G
And the reefer come in through New Orleans back before World War II
 
 
[Chorus]
 C                                          G
He's just a feller worked on the river, All his life by a paddle wheel
G                                      F               C
You say he's old fashioned, Well that ain't no big deal
     F                                   C
Well it's too thick to navigate, And it's too thin to plow
    C              G                  C         G            C
So let him go on mama and don't put him down for it now

[Verse 3]
 C                                             G
Well he smokes an old I-bolt cigar, Says he doesn't miss it at all
G                                                       F                     C
But he still goes out and he makes a few trips in the summer and in the fall
        F                                          C
Oh, the railroad trains, the bus and planes are picking up the slack
     D7                                G
He's watching all those river towns slowly turn their backs
 
 
[Chorus]
 C                                          G
He's just a feller worked on the river, All his life by a paddle wheel
G                                      F               C
You say he's old fashioned, Well that ain't no big deal
     F                                   C
Well it's too thick to navigate, And it's too thin to plow
    C              G                  C         G            C
So let him go on mama and don't put him down for it now

[Verse 4]
C                                                           G
Well he comes from a real old-time way of life, He had to fight to just learn how
G                                                    F                    C
And he might even have voted for Nixon once but I'm sure he sees that now
      F                                      C
Well Friday night he makes the best damn Gumbo you'd ever want to eat
      D7                                         G
And Saturday morning 'fore everyone's up, he's gone off down to the fleet
 
 
[Chorus]
 C                                          G
He's just a feller worked on the river, All his life by a paddle wheel
G                                      F               C
You say he's old fashioned, Well that ain't no big deal

[Verse 5]
C                                             G
You're as pretty as he is ugly and he's the happiest man alive
G                                       F                   C
Somehow you got him thinking that old men are back in style
      F                                          C
Now you see these Oysters Bienville and this baked potato skin
     D7                                 G
I eat 'em so I can grow up an' be, an old man just like him
 
 
[Chorus]
 C                                          G
He's just a feller worked on the river, All his life by a paddle wheel
G                                      F               C
