1.
It was on the sixth of April as I lay on my bed, And thinking of the sorrows that crowned my aching head; And surrounded I was by officers, and with them I was forced for to go For to serve a long and dreary trick to the jails of Buffalo When I’ve done my task and got pardoned, and once more I am free, And I went down to Sandusky, my true love for to see. But, perhaps, my boys, she will give me the bounce when she does come to know That I Ied a gang of smugglers to the jails of Buffalo Oh, this girl she came from Paterson, the truth to you I will tell She was an only daughter, and her parents loved her well. They brought her up in the fear of the lord, but little did she know That she was married to a smuggler who served time in Buffalo.

1. I’ve got a mule, her name is Sal, Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal. She’s a good old worker and a good old pal, Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal. We’ve haul’d some barges in our day, Fill’d with lumber, coal and hay And we know ev’ry inch of the way From Albany to Buffalo. Refrain: Low Bridge, ev’rybody down! Low bridge, for we’re going through a town, And you’ll always know your neighbor, You’ll always know your pal, If you ever navigated on the Erie Canal. 2. We better get along on our way, old gal Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal, Cause you bet your life I’d never part with Sal, Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal. Git 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. Refrain:
