Erie Canal lyrics

Erie Canal

-traditional American folk song

I`ve got a mule and 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
BR
BRLow bridge, everybody down
BRLow bridge, for we`re comin` to a town
BRAnd you`ll always know your neighbor
BRYou`ll always know your pal
BRIf you`ve ever navigated on the Erie Canal
BR
BRYou better get along on your way, old gal
BR15 miles on the Erie Canal
BRYou can bet your life I`d never part with Sal
BR15 miles on the Erie Canal
BRGet up there, mule, here comes a lock
BRWe`ll make Rome `fore six o`clock
BRAnd we`ll go back to our home dock
BRRight back home to Buffalo
