John Hartford song, covered by Mighty Poplar.
[Intro]
G D7
[Verse 1]
G
Well he likes black coffee, fried eggs, and a
D7
Well done T bone steak
D7
He likes her red dress and her pearly white teeth and the
C G
flash of her pretty long legs
He said back in the 30s, you know you never had it made
He worked as an engineer on the Ohio River
D7
Workin' on the Pittsburg trade.
[Verse 2]
At the inspection office in Louisville
He had a desk for a very short time
D7
Played in bands on two different boats
C G
Working for the Streckfus line
And long ago he smoked reefer
And even made home brew
And the reefer come up from New Orleans
D7
Back before World War Two
[Chorus]
He's just a feller worked on the river all his
D7
Life by a paddle wheel
D7
They say he's old fashioned
Well that ain't no big deal
Oh it's too thick to navigate
And it's too thin to plow
Let him go on Mama
Don't you put him down for it now
D7 G
[Verse 3]
G
Well he smokes an old Ibold cigar
and he says he doesn't miss it all
D7
But he still goes out and takes a few trips
In the summer and in the fall
And the buses and the planes and the railroad trains
Are pickin up the slack
He's watching all those river towns
D7
Slowly turn their back
[Chorus]
He's just a feller worked on the river all his
D7
Life by a paddle wheel
D7
They say he's old fashioned
Well that ain't no big deal
Oh it's too thick to navigate
And it's too thin to plow
Let him go on Mama
Don't you put him down for it now
D7 G
[Verse 4]
G
Well he comes from a real old time way of life
He had to fight just to learn how
D7
Might even have voted for Nixon once
But I'm sure he sees that now.
And on Friday night he makes the best damn
G
gumbo you'd ever want to eat
On Saturday morning 'fore everyone's up,
He's going off down to the fleet
[Chorus]
He's just a feller worked on the river all his
D7
Life by a paddle wheel
D7
They say he's old fashioned
Well that ain't no big deal
Oh it's too thick to navigate
And it's too thin to plow
Let him go on Mama
Don't you put him down for it now
D7 G
[Verse 5]
G
Well you're as pretty as he is ugly
And he's the happiest man alive
D7
Somehow you got him thinkin'
That old men are back in style
Well you see his oyster Bienville
And those baked potato skins
I'll eat em so I can grow up and be
An old man just like him
[Chorus]
He's just a feller worked on the river all his
D7
Life by a paddle wheel
D7
They say he's old fashioned
Well that ain't no big deal
Oh it's too thick to navigate
And it's too thin to plow
Let him go on Mama
Don't you put him down for it now
D7 G
