"Big Joe m___eraw" by Stompin' Tom Connors

Big Joe m___eraw

Heev-Hi, Heev-Hi-Ho,
The Best Man In Ottawa Was m___eraw Joe-oo,
m___eraw Joe

Big Joe m___eraw Paddled In The 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___eraw The Old Folks Say-ee
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___eraw Joe,
m___eraw 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 Carleton Place
the Mississipi dripped onto Big Joe's face

Hey-Hi, Hey-Hi-Ho, the best man in Ottawa was m___eraw Joe,
m___eraw 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 Canal

Hey-Hi, Hey-Hi-Ho, the best man in Ottawa was m___eraw Joe,
m___eraw Joe

Big Joe m___eraw 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___eraw 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____

Hey-Hi, Hey-Hi-Ho, the best man in Ottawa was m___eraw Joe,
m___eraw Joe

Well he jumped into the Calabogie Lake real fast
and he swam both ways to catch a cross-eyed-bass
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___eraw Joe,
m___eraw 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___eraw Joe,
m___eraw Joe

Big Joe m___eraw 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___eraw 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___eraw Joe,
m___eraw Joe

Big Joe m___eraw, Big Joe m___eraw, Big Joe m___eraw, Big Joe m___eraw,
Big Joe m___eraw, Big Joe m___eraw, Big Joe m___eraw, Big Joe m___eraw,
Big Joe m___eraw
