Born beneath the fleur-de-lis Quebec, 1723 Who traveled to Sault Ste. Marie With Louis de Repentigny Louis built a fort and then Left for to fight the Englishmen Guess who was left to trade and tend? Ho,ho, oh Ho,ho, oh Ho,ho, oh Who spoke like other men could not? Jean-Baptiste Cadotte Who married Athanasie? Who spoke Ojibway fluently? Who soon became himself a chief? Who worked hard to preserve the peace? When tempers raged across the land And bloody violence was at hand Who spoke so all could understand? Ho, ho, oh Ho,ho, oh Ho, ho, oh Who spoke like other men could not? Jean-Baptiste Cadotte Who joined Alexander Henry With fur trading and mining? Who stopped young Henry's being killed By warriors wanting blood to spill? When Madjeckewiss made demands To hand over the Englishman Who stood his ground and changed their plans? Ho, ho, oh Ho, ho, oh Ho, ho, oh Who spoke like other men could not? Jean-Baptiste Cadotte Who did the British count upon To speak to the Sault Indians? Who went there with the wampum belt Who made peace without any help? Who led eighty canoes from there To Michilimackinaw, who dared To speak when other men just stared? Ho,ho, oh Ho,ho, oh Ho,ho, oh Who spoke like other men could not? Jean-Baptiste Cadotte Who kept the peace when others fought? Jean-Baptiste Cadotte Who cooled things down when heads were hot? Jean-Baptiste Cadotte
