Heave hi heave hi ho the best man in Ottawa was Mufferaw Joe, Mufferaw Joe
Cho Big Joe Mufferaw paddled up the Madawa
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 and listen & I'll tell you what the old folks say
Well they say big Joe had an old pet frog
Bigger than a horse & he barked like a dog
And the only thing quicker than a train upon a track
Was Big Joe ridin' on that bull frog's back
Heave hi heave hi ho the best man in Ottawa was Mufferaw Joe, Mufferaw Joe
Well they say Big Joe used to get real wet
