Capo 1st fret
Em D/F# G Em
I've got a mule and her name is Sal,
Em D/F# Em
15 miles on the Erie Canal
Em D/F# G Em
She's a good old worker and a good old pal,
Em D/F# Em
15 miles on the Erie Canal
G D
We've hauled some barges in our day
Am Em
filled with lumber, coal and hay
Em D/F# G Em
And we know every inch of the way from
Em D/F# Em
Albany to Buffalo.
G D
Low bridge, everybody down
G D Em
Low bridge for we're coming to a town
Em D/F# G Em
And you'll always know your neighbor, you'll always know your pal
Em D/F# Em
If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal.
Better look around for a job old gal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal
You bet your life I'd never part with Sal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal
Get up there 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
G D
Low bridge, everybody down
G D Em
Low bridge for we're coming to a town
D/F# G Em
And you'll always know your neighbor, you'll always know your pal
B7 Em
If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal.
Where would I be if I lost my pal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal
I like to see a mule as good as my Sal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal
A friend of mine once got a sore
Now he's got a broken jaw
'Cause she left fly with a iron toe
And kicked him back to Buffalo
G D
Low bridge, everybody down
G D Em
Low bridge for we're coming to a town
D/F# G Em
And you'll always know your neighbor, you'll always know your pal
B7 Em
If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal.
