The Erie Canal

I got an old 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've haul'd some barges in our day
Filled with lumber, coal, and hay
And every inch of the way we know
From Albany to Buffalo

Low bridge, everybody down
Low bridge, oh, we're coming to a town

We were forty miles from Albany
Forget it, I never shall
What a terrible storm we had that night
On the Erie Canal

The Eire was a-rising
The gin was a-gеtting low
And I scarcely think, I get a drink
'Til we gеt to Buffalo

I got an old 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've haul'd some barges in our day
Filled with lumber, coal, and hay
And every inch of the way we know
From Albany to Buffalo

Low bridge, everybody down
Low bridge, oh, we're coming to a town

You'll always know your neighbor
And you'll always know your pal
If you ever navigated on the Erie Canal
