[Intro]
Em     B7   G    Em/B
Em/B   B7   Em
 
[Verse]
  Em        B7         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          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         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
And you'll always know your neighbor,
   E                 G
You'll always know your pal,
  E                           B7    Em
If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal.
 
[Verse]
      Em           B7              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           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         Em/B        G
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)        Em                B7
And you'll always know your neighbor,
   E                 G
You'll always know your pal,
  E                           B7    Em
If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal.
 
[Verse]
      Em           B7              G        Em/B
Where would I be if I lost my pal
 (Em/B)               B7   Em
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal!
   Em       B7       Em    G               Em/B
'I'd like to see a mule good as my Sal,
 (Em/B)               B7   Em
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal!
  G                      D
A friend of mine once got her sore,
  Am                  C
Now he's got a broken jaw,
  Em      B7         Em/B        G
'Cause she let fly with an iron toe
 (Em/B)             B7   Em
And kicked his ass to Buffalo.
 
[Chorus]
  G           D
Low bridge, everybody down!
  G           D                       Em
Low bridge, for we're comin' through a town!
 (Em)        Em                B7
And you'll always know your neighbor,
   E                 G
You'll always know your pal,
  E                           B7    Em
If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal.
 
[Chorus]
Repeat 4x... or just jam out
