À l'Angelus de ce matin
Le chef de drave, le gros Malouin
A dit : Les billots sont pris
Qui d'entre vous, avec sa gaffe
Va faire un trou pour qu'ça s'dégraffe
Celui-là, r'viendra pas
C'est en chantant cet air de jazz
Que Mac Pherson a pris le large
Sur son parka une fleur sauvage
Au-d'sus d'sa tête un p'tit nuage
Du soleil jusqu'à l'Occident
Des diamants plein l'Lac Saint-Jean
Des symphonies dessous les flots
Un homme tout seul sur son radeau
Ring, ring, va Mac Pherson
Ring, ring, ousque ça sonne
Ring, ring, regrette pas personne
La vague est bonne, bonne
Quand l'noir s'est vu au large tout seulAvec la bouée éternité
Qui lui jazzait au nez
A oublié le monde entier
À son enfance il a rêvé
Il a revu sa vieille mamie
Qui l'a aidé à débarquer
Ring, ring, viens Mac Pherson
Ring, ring, viens qu'on te donne
Ring, ring, c'que t'as mérité
Qu'on ne t'a jamais donné
Dans les remous on a retrouvé
Un vieux radeau tout défoncé
Les chaînes arrachées
Mais! Mac Pherson en paradis
Fut emporté par ses amis
C'est Malouin qui l'a dit
Les anges chantaient son air de jazz
Quand Mac Pherson a pris le large
Sur son parka, la fleur sauvage
Brillait comme l'étoile des mages
Et le soleil à l'occident
Mettait du rouge sur son vêtement
Les symphonies dessous les flots
Ont fait éclater le radeau
Ring, ring, sonnez cloches du Lac Saint-Jean
L'âme de celui qu'est triomphant
Ring, ring, les billots ont repris le courant
Et Malouin est content
Et tout le monde est content
Mac Pherson est content
