@asbpab1966 Yup, it's near Mississippi Mills, ON!

For you American listeners, the Mississippi River mentioned in the song is not THAT Mississippi. There is another Mississippi River in Ontario. I have a picture of it.

they say big joe had a mighty big hog,

big as a tree and barked like a dog,

the only thing louder than a train upon a track,

was big joe pullin his foreskin back.

The guy in the canoe with the Senetor's Hockey Team Flag as a sail was one on the owners of the Pond Motel on the edge of Carleton Place. For the last 3 years of the Pond's existence that canoe sat out loose on the frozen pond over winter, often with a Canadian flag on it.

Last year the Department of Transport bought the Pond Motel for demolition as it sat too close to the expansion of Hwy 7 to four lanes which should be finished by fall of this year, 2011.

Big Joe Mufferaw was inspired for Paul Bunyan of America's folklore. Some real persons are inspired for folklores' fictional heroes. The Canadian tall tale of Big Joe Mufferaw are kind alike of the American tall tales of real persons like Davy Crockett, Johnny Appleseed, Jim Bowie, Daniel Boone, Buffalo Bill, Wild Bill Hickok, and Casey Jones.

@42whatelse Paul Bunyon was fictional , whereas Joe was a real man... and some sources say that Paul Bunyon was patterned after our Big Joe!
