[Chorus: ] Low bridge, ev'rybody down Low bridge for we're comin' to the town So you'll always know your neighbor And you'll always know your pal If you've ever navigated on the Erie Can*l If you've ever navigated on the Erie Can*l I got a mule and her name is Sal Well, fifteen miles on the Erie Can*l She's a good old worker and a good old pal Fifteen miles on the Erie Can*l
[Chorus: ] Get up, there, mule, here comes a lock We'll reach town about six o'clock Six o'clock's just an hour away So make your tracks while we still got day [Chorus: ] Damn that mule, she shore is lazy Bound to drive a body crazy Looked at me the other day Said, "I ain't a-goin' till I eat my hay!" [Chorus: ]
