Big Joe Mufferaw Song Lyrics
Big Joe Mufferaw by Stole Your Woman Hee hi hee hi ho
The best man in ottawa was mufferaw joe
Mufferaw joe.
Big joe mufferaw
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 mufferaw the old folks say
Come listen and I'll tell ya what the old folks say...
Yeah 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 ridin' on the bullfrog's back
Hee hi hee hi ho
The best man in ottawa was mufferaw joe
Mufferaw joe.
Yeah they said big joe used to get real wet
From cuttin' down timber and workin' up a sweat
And everyone'll tell ya around carlton place
The mississippi dripped off of big joe's face.
Hee hi hee hi ho
The best man in ottawa was mufferaw joe
Mufferaw joe.
Now joe had to portage from the gatineau 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 canal
Hee hi hee hi ho
The best man in ottawa was mufferaw joe
Mufferaw joe.
Big joe mufferaw
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 mufferaw the old folks say
Come listen and I'll tell ya what the old folks say...
They say big joe put out a forest fire
Halfway between renfrew and old arnprior
He was 50 miles away down around smith falls
When he drowned out the fire with 5 spit balls.
Hee hi hee hi ho
The best man in ottawa was mufferaw joe
Mufferaw joe.
Well he jumped in the calabogie 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"
So he covered it over with mount st.pat
Hee hi hee hi ho
The best man in ottawa was mufferaw joe
Mufferaw joe.
Yeah they say big joe drank a bucket of gin
Then he beat the livin' tar out of 29 men-
And high on the ceiling of a pembroke club
There's 29 boot marks and they're signed "with love".
Hee hi hee hi ho
The best man in ottawa was mufferaw joe
Mufferaw joe.
Big joe mufferaw
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 mufferaw the old folks say
Come listen and I'll tell ya what the old folks say...
They say
Hee hi hee hi ho
The best man in ottawa was mufferaw joe
Mufferaw joe.
Big joe mufferaw. Big joe mufferaw
Big joe mufferaw. Big joe mufferaw
