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
