EHeave hi hAeave hi ho the bDest man in Ottawa was MEufferaw Joe, Mufferaw JAoe
Cho... ABig Joe Mufferaw pDaddled up the Madawa
AAll the way from Ottawa in jEust one day
Hey hey, Aon the river Ottawa the bDest man we ever saw
Was Abig Joe Mufferaw the Eold folks sAay
Come and listen & I'll tell you what Ethe old folAks say
AWell they say big Joe had an Dold pet frog
ABigger than a horse & Ehe barked like a dog
And the Aonly thing quicker than a trDain upon a track
Was EBig Joe ridin' on that bDull frog's bAack
EHeave hi hAeave hi ho the bDest man in Ottawa was MEufferaw Joe, Mufferaw JAoe
Well they say Big Joe used to get real wet
From cuttin down timber & working up a sweat
And everyone'll tell ya 'round Carleton Place
The Mississippi dripped off of Big Joe's face
Heave hi heave hi ho the best man in Ottawa was Mufferaw Joe, Mufferaw Joe
Now Joe had to portage from Gatineau down
To see a little girl he had in Kemptville town
Well he was back & forth so many times to see that gal
That the path he wore became the Rideau Canal
Heave hi heave hi ho the best man in Ottawa was Mufferaw Joe, Mufferaw Joe
Cho...
Well they say Big Joe put out a forest fire
Half way between Renfrew & old Arnprior
He was fifty miles away down around Smith Falls
When he drownded out the fire with five spitballs
Heave hi heave hi ho the best man in Ottawa was Mufferaw Joe, Mufferaw Joe
Well he jumped into Calagogie Lake real fast
And he swam both ways to catch a cross eyed bass
But he threw it on the ground & said I can't eat that
And then he covered it over with Mount St. Pat
Heave hi heave hi ho the best man in Ottawa was Mufferaw Joe, Mufferaw Joe
Well they say Big Joe drank a bucket of Gin
Then he beat the living tar out of 29 men
And high on the ceiling of the Pembroke pub
There's 29 bootmarks & they're signed with love
Heave hi heave hi ho the best man in Ottawa was Mufferaw Joe, Mufferaw Joe
