Eerie 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 hauled some barges in our day

Filled with lumber, coal and hay

We know every inch of the way

From Albany to Bufallo


Low bridge, everybody down

Low bridge, we're coming to a town

You'll always know your neighbour

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, everybody down

Low bridge, we're coming to a town

You'll always know your neighbour

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 Bufallo


Low bridge, everybody down

Low bridge, we're coming to a town

You'll always know your neighbour

And you'll always know your pal

If ya ever navigated on the Erie Canal
