I've C#mgot a B/Ebmule and her Ename is C#mSal,

15 miles on the G#7Erie CaC#mnal

She's a good old B/Ebworker and a Egood old C#mpal,

15 miles on the G#7Erie CaC#mnal

We've Ehauled some barges in our Bday

F#mfilled with lumber, coal and C#mhay

And every B/Ebinch of the Eway we C#mknow

From Albany to G#7BuffaC#mlo.

ELow bridge, everyBbody down

ELow bridge 'cause we're Bcoming to a town

And you'll C#malways know your B/Ebneighbor,

you'll Ealways know your C#mpal

If you've ever navigated on the G#7Erie CaC#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
