 I've Dmgot a C/Emule and her Fname is DmSal,
 15 miles on the A7Erie CaDmnal
 She's a good old C/Eworker and a Fgood old Dmpal,
 15 miles on the A7Erie CaDmnal
 We've Fhauled some barges in our Cday
Gmfilled with lumber, coal and Dmhay
 And every C/Einch of the Fway we Dmknow
 From Albany to A7BuffaDmlo.
FLow bridge, everyCbody down
FLow bridge 'cause we're Ccoming to a town
 And you'll Dmalways know your C/Eneighbor,
 you'll Falways know your Dmpal
 If you've ever navigated on the A7Erie CaDmnal.

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
