I've got a mule, her name is Sal, 15 miles on the Erie Canal She's a good old worker and a good old pal, 15 miles on the Erie Canal We've hauled some barges in our day Filled with lumber, coal and hay And we know every inch of the way from Albany to Buffalo. Chorus: Low bridge, everybody down Low bridge for we're coming to a town And you'll always know your neighbor, you'll always know your pal If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal. We better get along on our way ol'gal, 15 miles on the Erie Canal 'Cause you bet your life I'd never part with Sal, 15 miles on the Erie Canal. Git up there mule, here comes a lock, We'll make Rome about 6 o'clock One more trip and back we'll go, right back home to Buffalo.
