Verse 1:
I gotta 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.

Verse 2:
We hauled some barges in our day,
Filled with lumber, coal, and hay.
We know every inch of the way,
From Albany{1} to Buffalo{2}.

Chorus:
Low bridge, everybody down.
Low bridge, yeah, we're comin' 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.

Short instrumental break.

Verse 3:
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.))

Verse 4:
Get up mule, here comes a lock{3},
We'll make Rome{4} 'bout six o'clock.
One more trip and back we'll go,
Right back home to Buffalo.

Chorus:
((Low bridge, everybody down.))
((Low bridge, we're comin' to a town.))
You'll always know your neighbor.
And you'll always know your pal.
If ya ever navigated on the Erie Canal.

Instrumental break.

Verse 5:
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.))

Verse 6:
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.

Chorus:
((Low bridge, everybody down.))
((Low bridge, 'cause we're comin' to a town.))
You'll always know your neighbor.
And you'll always know your pal.
If ya ever navigated on the Erie Canal.

Chorus:
((Low bridge, everybody down.))
((Low bridge, we're comin' to a town.))
You'll always know your neighbor.
And you'll always know your pal.
If ya ever made your livin' on the Erie Canal.

Coda:
((Low bridge, everybody down.))
((Low bridge, we're comin' to a town.))

Humming to end.
