Erie Canal Lyrics

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
