Low Bridge (Erie Canal)

I've got a mule and her name is Sal

Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal

She's a good old worker and a good old pal

Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal

We've hauled some barges in our day

Filled with lumber, coal, and hay

We know every inch of the way

From Albany to Buffalo

Low bridge, everybody down

Low bridge, for we're coming to a town

You'll always know your neighbor

You'll always know your pal

If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal

We'd better look around for a job, old gal

Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal

Cause I never met a worker half as good as Sal

Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal

Get up mule, here comes a lock

We'll make Rome 'bout six o'clock

Just one more trip and back we'll go

Right back home to Buffalo

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 ever navigated on the Erie Canal

Well, where would I be if I lost my pal

Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal

Cause you could bet your life I'd never part with Sal

Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal

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 right on to Buffalo

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

You'll always know your neighbor

You'll always know your pal

If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal
