I've G#mgot a F#/Bbmule and her Bname is G#mSal,

15 miles on the Eb7Erie CaG#mnal

She's a good old F#/Bbworker and a Bgood old G#mpal,

15 miles on the Eb7Erie CaG#mnal

We've Bhauled some barges in our F#day

C#mfilled with lumber, coal and G#mhay

And every F#/Bbinch of the Bway we G#mknow

From Albany to Eb7BuffaG#mlo.

BLow bridge, everyF#body down

BLow bridge 'cause we're F#coming to a town

And you'll G#malways know your F#/Bbneighbor,

you'll Balways know your G#mpal

If you've ever navigated on the Eb7Erie CaG#mnal.

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
