I've Fmgot a Eb/Gmule and her G#name is FmSal,

15 miles on the C7Erie CaFmnal

She's a good old Eb/Gworker and a G#good old Fmpal,

15 miles on the C7Erie CaFmnal

We've G#hauled some barges in our Ebday

Bbmfilled with lumber, coal and Fmhay

And every Eb/Ginch of the G#way we Fmknow

From Albany to C7BuffaFmlo.

G#Low bridge, everyEbbody down

G#Low bridge 'cause we're Ebcoming to a town

And you'll Fmalways know your Eb/Gneighbor,

you'll G#always know your Fmpal

If you've ever navigated on the C7Erie CaFmnal.

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
