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...
