The song was originally commissioned by Lieutenant Governor of Quebec Th\u00E9odore Robitaille for the 1880 Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day ceremony; Calixa Lavall\u00E9e composed the music, after which words were written by the poet and judge Sir Adolphe-Basile Routhier. The lyrics were originally in French and an English version was created in 1906."@en . . .
