I've Emgot a D/F#mule and her Gname is EmSal,

15 miles on the B7Erie CaEmnal

She's a good old D/F#worker and a Ggood old Empal,

15 miles on the B7Erie CaEmnal

We've Ghauled some barges in our Dday

Amfilled with lumber, coal and Emhay

And every D/F#inch of the Gway we Emknow

From Albany to B7BuffaEmlo.

GLow bridge, everyDbody down

GLow bridge 'cause we're Dcoming to a town

And you'll Emalways know your D/F#neighbor,

you'll Galways know your Empal

If you've ever navigated on the B7Erie CaEmnal.

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
