I ve got a mule and her name is Sal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal
She s a good old worker and a good old pal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal

We haul d some barges in our day
Filled with lumber, coal, and hay
We know every inch of the way
From Albany to Buffalo

Low bridge, everybody down
Low bridge, yeah we re coming to a town
And you ll always know your neighbor
And you ll always know your pal
If ya ever navigated on the Erie Canal

We d better look around for a job, old gal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal
You can bet your life I ll never part with Sal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal

Get up 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

Low bridge, everybody down
Low bridge, we re coming to a town
You ll always know your neighbor
And you ll always know your pal
If ya ever navigated on the Erie Canal

Where would I be if I lost my pal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal
I d like to see a mule good as my Sal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal

A friend of mine once got her sore
Now he s got a broken jaw
Cause she let fly with an iron toe
And kicked him back to Buffalo

Low bridge, everybody down
Low bridge cause we re coming to a town
You ll always know your neighbor
And you ll always know your pal
If ya ever navigated on the Erie Canal

Low bridge, everybody down
Low bridge, we re coming to a town
You ll always know your neighbor
And you ll always know your pal
If ya ever navigated on the Erie Canal

Low bridge, everybody down*
Low bridge, we re coming to a town*
You ll always know your neighbor*
And you ll always know your pal*
If ya ever navigated on the Erie Canal*

Low bridge, everybody down
Low bridge, we re coming to a town
Hooo...
