I've Bbmgot a G#/Cmule and her C#name is BbmSal,

15 miles on the F7Erie CaBbmnal

She's a good old G#/Cworker and a C#good old Bbmpal,

15 miles on the F7Erie CaBbmnal

We've C#hauled some barges in our G#day

Ebmfilled with lumber, coal and Bbmhay

And every G#/Cinch of the C#way we Bbmknow

From Albany to F7BuffaBbmlo.

C#Low bridge, everyG#body down

C#Low bridge 'cause we're G#coming to a town

And you'll Bbmalways know your G#/Cneighbor,

you'll C#always know your Bbmpal

If you've ever navigated on the F7Erie CaBbmnal.

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
