The erie canal

I got an old 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
And every inch of the way we know
From albany to buffalo

(low bridge) everybody (down)
(low bridge) for we're coming to a town

We were forty miles from albany
Forget that i never shout
(i never shout)
What a terrible storm
We had that night
(on the eee-rye-eee canal)

The eee-rye-eee was a-risin'
The gin was a-gettin' low
Was gettin' low
And i scarcely think
I'll get a drink
(till we get to buffalo)

I got an old 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
And every inch of the way we know
From albany to buffalo

(low bridge) everybody (down)
(low bridge) for we're coming to a town
And you'll always know your neighbor,
And you'll always know your pal
If ya ever navigated
(on the eee-rye-eee canal)
