1. I've got a mule, her name is Sal,
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal.
She's good ol'worker and a good ol' pal,
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal.
We've hauled some barges in our day,
Filled with lumber, cal and hay,
And we know ev'ry inch of the way
From Albany to Buffalo.
2. We better get on our way, old pal,
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal.
'Cause 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.
