Ballad of Big Joe Mufferaw, written and recorded by Stompin Tom Connors.

Mufferaw is how Tom and Valley (English-speking) lore spell it, Big Joe Mufferaw was actually Joseph Montferrand, a legendary French-Canadian woods foreman of the early 19th century. There was a lot of explicitly ethnic rivalry between the French-Canadian and Irish lumber crews who were forever deking it out in the taverns of Bytown and also when they met in contested areas like bottle-necked river drives.

Hee, hi, hee hi ho,
Best man in Ottawa was Mufferaw Joe,
Mufferaw Joe.
