I've got a mule and her name is Sal
15 miles on the Erie Canal
She's a good ol' worker and a good ol' pal
15 miles on the Erie Canal
We've hauled some barges in our day
Filled with lumber, coal and hay
And every inch of the way we know
From Albany to Buffalo
Low bridge, everybody down!
Low bridge, and we're comin' to a town
You'll always know your neighbor
You'll always know your pal
If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal
We better look around for a job ol' gal
15 miles on the Erie Canal
:Cause you can bet your life
I'd never part with Sal
15 miles on the Erie Canal
Get on Mule, we cast heading off
We'll make room about six o'clock
One more trip
Back we'll go
Right back home to Buffalo
Low bridge, everybody down!
Low bridge, and we're comin' to a town
You'll always know your neighbor
You'll always know your pal
If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal
Where would I be if I lost my pal
15 miles on the Erie Canal
I'd like to see a mule good as my old Sal
15 miles on he Erie Canal
A friend of mine almost got her sold
Now he's got a broken jaw
She let fly with an iron toe
Kicked him back to Buffalo
Low bridge, everybody down!
Low bridge, and we're comin' to a town
You'll always know your neighbor
You'll always know your pal
If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal
Low bridge, everybody down!
Low bridge, and we're comin' to a town
You'll always know your neighbor
You'll always know your pal
If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal
