tom stompin - big joe mufferaw lyrics
hey-hi, hey-hi-ho, the best man in ottawa was m-fferaw joe,
m-fferaw joe
big joe m-fferaw paddled into mattawa
all the way from ottawa in just one day
hey-hey
on the river ottawa the best man we ever saw
was big joe m-fferaw the old folks say
come and listen and i’ll tell you what the old folks say
and they say big joe had an old pet frog
bigger than a horse and he barked like a dog
and the only thing quicker than a train upon a track
was big joe riding on the bull-frog’s back
hey-hi, hey-hi-ho, the best man in ottawa was m-fferaw joe,
m-fferaw joe
and they say big joe used to get real wet
from cutting down timber and working up a sweat
and everyone will tell you around carlton place
the mississipi dripped onto big joe’s face
hey-hi, hey-hi-ho, the best man in ottawa was m-fferaw joe,
m-fferaw joe
now joe had the portage from the gattineau down
to see a little girl he had in kempville town
he was back and forth so many times to see that gal
the path he wore became the rideau c-n-l
hey-hi, hey-hi-ho, the best man in ottawa was m-fferaw joe,
m-fferaw joe
big joe m-fferaw paddled into mattawa
all the way from ottawa in just one day
hey-hey
on the river ottawa the best man we ever saw
was big joe m-fferaw the old folks say
come and listen and i’ll tell you what the old folks say
and they say big joe put out a forest fire,
halfway between renfrew and old arnprior
he was fifty miles away down around smith falls
but he drowneded out the fire with five spit b-lls
hey-hi, hey-hi-ho, the best man in ottawa was m-fferaw joe,
m-fferaw joe
well he jumped into the calabogie lake real fast
and he swam both ways to catch a cross-eyed-b-ss
but he threw it on the ground and said “i can’t eat that”
so he covered it over with mount saint patt
hey-hi, hey-hi-ho, the best man in ottawa was m-fferaw joe,
m-fferaw joe
and they say big joe drank a bucket of gin
and he beat the living tar of the twenty nine men
and high on the ceiling of the pembroke pub
there is twenty-nine boot marks and they are signed with love
hey-hi, hey-hi-ho, the best man in ottawa was m-fferaw joe,
m-fferaw joe
big joe m-fferaw paddled into mattawa
all the way from ottawa in just one day
hey-hey
on the river ottawa the best man we ever saw
was big joe m-fferaw the old folks say
come and listen and i’ll tell you what the old folks say
they say hey-hi, hey-hi-ho, the best man in ottawa was m-fferaw joe,
m-fferaw joe
big joe m-fferaw, big joe m-fferaw, big joe m-fferaw, big joe m-fferaw,
big joe m-fferaw, big joe m-fferaw, big joe m-fferaw, big joe m-fferaw,
big joe m-fferaw
