Lyrics:

  • 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 coming to a town
  • And 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, everybody down
  • Low bridge, we're coming 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 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 'cause we're coming to a town
  • You'll always know your neighbor
  • And you'll always know your pal
  • If ya ever navigated on the Erie Canal

  • Low bridge, everybody down
  • Low bridge, we're coming to a town
  • You'll always know your neighbor
  • And you'll always know your pal
  • If ya ever made a livin' on the Erie Canal

  • Low bridge, everybody down*
  • Low bridge, we're coming to a town*
  • You'll always know your neighbor*
  • And you'll always know your pal*
  • If ya ever navigated on the Erie Canal*

  • Low bridge, everybody down
  • Low bridge, we're coming to a town
  • Hooo...
