I've got a mule and her name is Sal
Fifteen miles on the Erie C!@#^
She's a good old worker and a good old pal

Fifteen miles on the Erie C!@#^

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 C!@#^


We'd better look around for a job, old gal
Fifteen miles on the Erie C!@#^

You can bet your life I'll never part with Sal
Fifteen miles on the Erie C!@#^


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 C!@#^

Where would I be if I lost my pal

Fifteen miles on the Erie C!@#^
I'd like to see a mule good as my Sal
Fifteen miles on the Erie C!@#^


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 C!@#^


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 C!@#^


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 C!@#^*


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