Well he likes black coffee, fried eggs
And a well done T-bone steak
He like a red dress and pearly white teeth
And the flash of a pretty brown leg
He said back in the '30s, you know
You never had it made
He's an engineer over on the Ohio river
Runnin' in the Pittsburgh trade
With the inspection office in Louisville
At a desk for a very short time
And he played in a band on two different boats
Working for the Strackfus line
And long ago he smoked reefer
And he even made home brew
And the reefer come in through New Orleans
Back before World War II
[Chorus]
He's just a feller worked on the river
All his life by a paddle wheel
You say he's old fashioned
Well that ain't no big deal
And a well done T-bone steak
He like a red dress and pearly white teeth
And the flash of a pretty brown leg
He said back in the '30s, you know
You never had it made
He's an engineer over on the Ohio river
Runnin' in the Pittsburgh trade
With the inspection office in Louisville
At a desk for a very short time
And he played in a band on two different boats
Working for the Strackfus line
And long ago he smoked reefer
And he even made home brew
And the reefer come in through New Orleans
Back before World War II
[Chorus]
He's just a feller worked on the river
All his life by a paddle wheel
You say he's old fashioned
Well that ain't no big deal
