_ _ _ _ Hey everybody, Norm over here, and I've got Chris and Paul from the Punch Brothers.
These guys are world famous and are really great, mainly acoustical _ stuff, just knockout players.
And _ Chris doesn't usually play a 12 string, but I put this Don Musser 12 in his hands
because it's just one of the easiest playing 12s.
It is, yeah.
And this is like a lazy man's electric bass here, you don't have to plug it in, you get
a little sound from it.
You guys are in town recording right now?
Yeah, we're making a record.
And where are you doing it?
At United.
United, alright, cool.
_ And the whole band's in town, obviously?
Whole band's in town, yep, we're all here just still [F] tracking basic tracks, but hopefully
we'll be done with this thing in a few weeks.
[A#] _
Very cool.
Yeah.
[G#] Well can you guys play a little bit for us, [G] just show us what you guys do?
Sure, yeah.
_ What do we do here, Critter?
I [F#] don't know, it's pretty far from what we usually [Gm] do, but I'll sing a John Hartford
[F#] tune on this, play 12 string guitar, Paul's gonna play the bass guitar, and it'll be good.
Alright.
_ _ [G] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Well he likes black coffee, fried eggs, [D] and a well done b-bone steak.
_ Likes a red dress and a pearly white teeth, [C] and the flash of a [G] pretty brown leg, [C] he said.
Back in the 30s, you know you [G] never had it made.
[A] He worked as an engineer in the Ohio River.
Working for the [F#m] Pittsburgh Trade.
[D] At the inspection office in Louisville, he had a [A] desk for a very short time.
[D] He played in bands on two different [C] boats, working for the [G] Stratfast line.
[C] And long ago he smoked reefer, [G] and even made homebrew.
[A] And the reefer come up from New Orleans, back [C#] before World War II.
He's [G] just a fella, worked [D] on the river all his life by a paddle wheel.
_ You say he's old fashioned, [C] that ain't no [G] big deal.
[C] Well it's too deep to navigate, and it's too thin to plow. _
Let him go, [D] mama, don't put him down for now.
[G] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
Well he smokes an old eyeball cigar, [D] and he says he doesn't miss it at all.
But he still goes out, takes a few trips [C] in the summer and in [G] the fall.
[C] And the buses and the planes, the railroad trains [G] are picking up the slack.
[C#] He's [Em] watching all [A] those river [D] towns slowly turn their back.
[E] [G] He's just a fella, worked on the [D] river all his life by a paddle wheel.
_ You say he's old [G] fashioned, [C] that ain't no [G] big deal.
[C] Well it's too thick to navigate, [G] and it's too thin to plow.
Let him [D] go, mama, don't put him down for now.

_ [B] _ _ [A] _ [Bm] _ _ [A] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] He's just a fella, worked on the river [D] all his life by a paddle wheel. _
You say he's old fashioned, [C] that ain't no big deal.
Well it's too thick to navigate, and it's too thin to plow.
Let him [D] go, mama, [G] don't [D] put him down for now.
_ [A] One more verse.
_ _ [D] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ You're as pretty as he is ugly, [A] but he's the happiest man [D] alive.
Somehow you got him thinking that [C] old men are back [G] in style.
[C] Well you see these oysters, Bainville, and [G] these baked potato skins.
[A] I'll eat them so I can grow up and [D] be an older man just like him.
He's just a fella, worked on the river all his life by a paddle wheel.
_ You say he's old fashioned, [C] that ain't no [G] big deal.
[C] Oh it's too thick to navigate, [G] and it's too thin to plow.
_ Let him go, [D] mama, don't put him down for now.
[G] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
