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, everybody down!

Low bridge, yeah, we're comin' to a town!

And you'll always know your neighbor

And you'll always know your pal

If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal

Then look around for a job old gal

Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal

She can bet your life I'll never part with Sal

Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal

Git 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, everybody down!

Low bridge, we're comin' to a town!

And you'll always know your neighbor

And you'll always know your pal

If you've 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 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, everybody down!

Low bridge, yes, we're comin' to a town!

And you'll always know your neighbor

And you'll always know your pal

If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal

Low bridge, everybody down!

Low bridge, we're comin' to a town!

And you'll always know your neighbor

And you'll always know your pal

If it ever means we're livin' on the Erie Canal

Low bridge, everybody down!

Low bridge, we're comin' to a town
