She ain’t so slow if you want to know, She put the “Buff” in BuffaloĮats a bale of hay for dinner, and on top of that, my Sal I eat my meals with Sal each day, I eat beef and she eats hay She trots from her stall like a good old gal, Fifteen years on the Erie Canal I don’t have to call when I want my Sal, Fifteen years on the Erie Canal She’s the only fighting donkey on the Erie Canal If you’re looking ‘round for trouble, better stay away from Sal ‘Cause she let fly with her iron toe, And kicked him into Buffalo Oh, I’d like to see a mule as good as Sal, Fifteen years on the Erie CanalĪ friend of mine once got her sore, Now, he’s got a broken jaw Oh, where would I be if I lost my pal?, Fifteen years on the Erie Canal Now he’s way down at the bottom of the Erie Canal Once a man named Mike McGinty tried to put it over Sal So one more trip and then we’ll go, Right straight back to BuffaloĬhorus: Low bridge, ev’rybody down, Low bridge, I’ve got the finest mule in town Giddap there gal we’ve passed that lock, We’ll make Rome ‘fore six o-clock You bet your life I wouldn’t part with Sal, Fifteen years on the Erie Canal We’d better look ‘round for a job old gal, Fifteen years on the Erie Canal You can always tell your neighbor, You can always tell your pal We’ve hauled some barges in our day, Filled with lumber, coal and hayĪnd ev’ry inch of the way I know, From Albany to BuffaloĬhorus: Low bridge, ev’rybody down, Low bridge, we must be getting near a town She’s a good old worker and a good old pal, Fifteen years on the Erie Canal I’ve got an old mule and her name is Sal, Fifteen years on the Erie Canal
