 I've Amgot a G/Bmule and her Cname is AmSal,
 15 miles on the E7Erie CaAmnal
 She's a good old G/Bworker and a Cgood old Ampal,
 15 miles on the E7Erie CaAmnal
 We've Chauled some barges in our Gday
Dmfilled with lumber, coal and Amhay
 And every G/Binch of the Cway we Amknow
 From Albany to E7BuffaAmlo.
CLow bridge, everyGbody down
CLow bridge 'cause we're Gcoming to a town
 And you'll Amalways know your G/Bneighbor,
 you'll Calways know your Ampal
 If you've ever navigated on the E7Erie CaAmnal.

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
