Erie Canal
I've got a mule, and her name is Sal,
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal
She's a good old worker and a good old pal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal
We haul'd some barges in our day
Filled with lumber, coal, and hay
We know every inch of the way
From Albany to Buffalo.
Low bridge, ev'rybody down
Low bridge, we're comin' to a town
You'll always know your neighbor
and you'll always know your pal
If ya ever navigated on the Erie Canal.
We'd better look around for a job, old gal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal
You can bet your life I'll never part with Sal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal
Get up mule, here comes a lock
We'll make Rome 'bout six o'clock
One more trip and back we'll go
Right back home to Buffalo
Low bridge, ev'rybody down
Low bridge, we're comin' to a town
You'll always know your neighbor
and you'll always know your pal
If ya ever navigated on the Erie Canal
Where would I be if I lost my pal?
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal
I'd like to see a mule as good as my Sal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal
A friend of mine once got her sore
Now he's got a broken jaw
'Cause she let fly with an iron toe
and kicked him back to Buffalo
Low bridge, ev'rybody down!
Low bridge, we're comin' to a town
You'll always know your neighbor
You'll always know your pal,
If ya ever navigated on the Erie Canal.
Low bridge, ev'rybody down!
Low bridge, we're comin' to a town
You'll always know your neighbor
You'll always know your pal,
If ya ever navigated on the Erie Canal.
Low bridge, ev'rybody down!
Low bridge, we're comin' to a town
