Well 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
16 miles on the Erie Canal
We've hulled some barges in our day
Filled with lumber, coal and hay
And we know every inch of the way
From Albany to Buffalo
Low Bridge, Everybody Down
Low Bridge, and were comin through your town
Always be your neighbor
And well always be your pal
If your ever navigating the Erie Canal
Lost all my money and I lost my gal
17 miles on the Erie Canal
Cant see straight I drank too much ale
18 miles on the Erie Canal
