[Verse]
Em B7/F# G Em/B
I've got a mule, and her name is Sal,
Em/B B7 Em
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal.
(Em) Em B7/F# G Em/B
She's a good ol' worker an' a good ol' pal,
Em/B B7 Em
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal.
G D
We've hauled some barges in our day,
Am C
Filled with lumber, coal, and hay,
Em B7/F# G Em/B
And we know every inch of the way
(Em/B) B7 Em
From Albany to Buffalo.
[Chorus]
G D
Low bridge, everybody down!
G D Em
Low bridge, for we're comin' through a town!
(Em) Em B7/F#
And you'll always know your neighbor,
G
You'll always know your pal,
B7 Em
If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal.
[Verse]
Em B7/F# G Em/B
We'd better look around for a job, ol' gal,
(Em/B) B7 Em
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal!
Em B7/F# G Em/B
'Cause you bet your life I'd never part with Sal,
(Em/B) B7 Em
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal!
G D
Git up there, mule, here comes a lock,
Am C
We'll make Rome 'bout six o'clock,
Em B7/F# G Em/B
One more trip and back we'll go
(Em/B) B7 Em
Right back home to Buffalo.
[Chorus]
G D
Low bridge, everybody down!
G D Em
Low bridge, for we're comin' through a town!
Em B7/F#
And you'll always know your neighbor,
G Em/B
You'll always know your pal,
(Em/B) B7 Em
If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal.
