I've Gmgot a F/Amule and her Bbname is GmSal,

15 miles on the D7Erie CaGmnal

She's a good old F/Aworker and a Bbgood old Gmpal,

15 miles on the D7Erie CaGmnal

We've Bbhauled some barges in our Fday

Cmfilled with lumber, coal and Gmhay

And every F/Ainch of the Bbway we Gmknow

From Albany to D7BuffaGmlo.

BbLow bridge, everyFbody down

BbLow bridge 'cause we're Fcoming to a town

And you'll Gmalways know your F/Aneighbor,

you'll Bbalways know your Gmpal

If you've ever navigated on the D7Erie CaGmnal.

Better look around for a job old gal

Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal

You bet your life I'd never part with Sal

Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal

Get up there mule here comes a lock

We'll make Rome 'bout six o clock

One more trip and back we'll go

Right back home to Buffalo

Where would I be if I lost my pal

Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal

I like to see a mule as good as my Sal

Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal

A friend of mine once got a sore

Now he's got a broken jaw

'Cause she left fly with a iron toe

And kicked him back to Buffalo
