Lyrics:

Low bridge, ev'rybody down
Low bridge for we're comin' to the town
So you'll always know your neighbor and you'll always know your pal
If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal
If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal

Well, I got a mule and her name is Sal
Well, fifteen miles on the Erie Canal
She's a good old worker, and a good old pal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal

Well, there's a low bridge, ev'rybody down
Low bridge for we're comin' to the town
So you'll always know your neighbor, and you'll always know your pal
If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal
If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal

Hey up, there, mule, here comes a lock
We'll reach Rome about six o'clock
Six o'clock's just an hour away, so make your tracks while we still got day, hey

Low bridge, ev'rybody down
Low bridge for we're comin' to the town
So you'll always know your neighbor, and you'll always know your pal
If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal
If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal

Damn that mule, sure is lazy
Bound to drive a body crazy
Looked at me the other day, said, “I ain't a do it till I eat my hay!”

Low bridge, ev'rybody down
Low bridge for we're comin' to the town
So you'll always know your neighbor, and you'll always know your pal
If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal
If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal
