I've got an old mule and her name is Sal Fifteen years on the Erie Canal She's a good old worker and a good old pal Fifteen years on the Erie Canal We've hauled some barges in our day Filled with lumber, coal, and hay And every inch of the way I (we) know From Albany to Buffalo Low bridge, everybody down Low bridge cause we're coming to a town And you'll always know your neighbor And you'll always know your pal If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal Get up there Sal, we've passed that lock, Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal And we'll make Rome before six o'clock Fifteen years on the Erie Canal One more trip and back we'll go Through the rain and sleet and snow And every inch of the way I (we) know From Albany to Buffalo Low bridge, everybody down Low bridge for we're coming to a town And you'll always know your neighbor And you'll always know your pal If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal.
