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
Low bridge, everybody down
Low bridge, for we're comin' 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 better get along on your way, old gal
15 miles on the Erie Canal
You can bet your life I'd never part with Sal
15 miles on the Erie Canal
Get up there, mule, here comes a lock
We'll make Rome 'fore six o'clock
And we'll go back to our home dock
Right back home to Buffalo
