I've Ebmgot a C#/Fmule and her F#name is EbmSal,

15 miles on the Bb7Erie CaEbmnal

She's a good old C#/Fworker and a F#good old Ebmpal,

15 miles on the Bb7Erie CaEbmnal

We've F#hauled some barges in our C#day

G#mfilled with lumber, coal and Ebmhay

And every C#/Finch of the F#way we Ebmknow

From Albany to Bb7BuffaEbmlo.

F#Low bridge, everyC#body down

F#Low bridge 'cause we're C#coming to a town

And you'll Ebmalways know your C#/Fneighbor,

you'll F#always know your Ebmpal

If you've ever navigated on the Bb7Erie CaEbmnal.

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
