I've got a mule and her name is Sal
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
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, ev'rybody down !
Low bridge, for we're comin' to a town!
And you'll always know your neighbor
You'll always know your pal
If you've ever navigated on the Erie Can*l
We'd better look around for a job, ol' gal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Can*l
'Cause you bet your life I'd never part with Sal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Can*l
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, for we're comin' to a town!
And you'll always know your neighbor
You'll always know your pal
If you've ever navigated on the Erie Can*l
Where would I be if I lost my pal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Can*l
I'd like to see a mule good as my Sal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Can*l
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
You'll always know your pal
If you've ever navigated on the Erie Can*l
Low bridge, everybody down!
Low bridge, for we're comin' to a town!
And you'll always know your neighbor
You'll always know your pal
If it means you're livin' on the Erie Can*l
