LOW BRIDGE Everybody Down 15 Fifteen Years Miles on the Erie Canal Mule Named Sal Song lyrics words
"Low Bridge, Everybody Down" , also known as "Fifteen Years on the Erie Canal", "Fifteen Miles on the Erie Canal", "Erie Canal Song", and "Mule Named Sal" was written by Thomas S. Allen in 1905.
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 hauled some barges in our day
Filled with lumber, coal and hay
and we know every inch of the way
From Albany to Buffalo
Low bridge, everybody down
Low bridge, for we're goin' thru a town
And you'll always know your neighbor
You'll always know your pal
If you ever navigated on the Erie Canal

Erie Canal Song Lyrics - all five original verses and choruses!
Visit http://daveruch.com/erie-canal-song for downloadable lyrics and complete song history.
"15 Miles on the Erie Canal," "Low Bridge Everybody Down," "The Erie Canal Song" - the song has gone by lots of different names over the years, and the lyrics have changed somewhat from the way Thomas S. Allen wrote it. (Most notably, the refrain is commonly sung today with the word "Miles" replacing "Years" in the refrain.)
This video presents all five original verses and choruses - in order - to the song originally titled "Low Bridge, Everybody Down or, Fifteen Years on the Erie Canal." Follow along with the lyrics.
NOTE: The audio presented here is compiled from two early recordings: Edward Meeker in 1913 (he only sang verses 1-4), and Vernon Dalhart from 1929 (the only early artist to record...

The Bachelors - Erie Canal (aka Low Bridge Everybody down).
Taken from The Bachelors first LP. Decca LK 4519 (mono only). Given that the song was/is well known in the USA it’s surprising it never made it to their first American album.

The Erie Canal Song
The Erie Canal Song
The Erie Canal was completed in October 1825 and provided an important navigable water passage from Albany, New York, on the Hudson River to Buffalo at Lake Erie. This song, also known as "Low Bridge, Everybody Down" was written in 1905 by Thomas S. Allen. Written after mule power was replaced by engine power, it is wistfully nostalgic.

Lyrics:
I've got a mule and 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 haul'd some barges in our day
Filled with lumber, coal and hay
We know every inch of the way
From Albany to Bufallo
Low bridge, ev'rybody down
Low bridge, we're coming to a town
You'll always know your neighbour
And you'll always know your pal
If ya ever navigated on the Erie Canal
We'd better look around for a job, old gal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal
You can bet your life I'll never part Sal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal
Get up mule, here comes a lock
We'll make Rome 'bout six o'clock
One more trip and we'll go
Right back home to Buffalo
Low bridge, ev'rybody down
Low bridge, we're coming to a town
You'll always know your neighbour
And you'll always know your pal
If ya ever navigated on the Erie Canal
Where would I be if I lost my pal?
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal
I'd like to see a mule as good as my Sal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal
A friend of mine once got her sore
Now he's got a broken jaw
'Cause she let fly with an iron toe
And kicked him back to Bufallo
Low bridge, ev'rybody down
Low bridge, we're coming to a town
You'll always know your neighbour
And you'll always know your pal
If ya ever navigated on the Erie Canal
Low bridge, ev'rybody down
Low bridge, we're coming to a town
You'll always know your neighbour
And you'll always know your pal
If ya made your livin' on the Erie Canal
Low bridge, ev'rybody down
Low bridge, we're coming to a town

NOTE: The audio presented here is compiled from two early recordings: Edward Meeker in 1913 (he only sang verses 1-4), and Vernon Dalhart from 1929 (the only early artist to record verse #5).

ORIGINAL LYRICS - Low Bridge, Everybody Down or, Fifteen Years on the Erie Canal by Thomas S. Allen
I’ve got an old mule and her name is Sal, Fifteen years on the Erie Canal
She’s a good old worker and a good old pal, Fifteen years on the Erie Canal
We’ve hauled some barges in our day, Filled with lumber, coal and hay
And ev’ry inch of the way I know, From Albany to Buffalo
Chorus: Low bridge, ev’rybody down, Low bridge, we must be getting near a town
You can always tell your neighbor, You can always tell your pal
If he’s ever navigated on the Erie Canal
We’d better look ‘round for a job old gal, Fifteen years on the Erie Canal
You bet your life I wouldn’t part with Sal, Fifteen years on the Erie Canal
Giddap there gal we’ve passed that lock, We’ll make Rome ‘fore six o-clock
So one more trip and then we’ll go, Right straight back to Buffalo
Chorus: Low bridge, ev’rybody down, Low bridge, I’ve got the finest mule in town
Once a man named Mike McGinty tried to put it over Sal
Now he’s way down at the bottom of the Erie Canal
Oh, where would I be if I lost my pal?, Fifteen years on the Erie Canal
Oh, I’d like to see a mule as good as Sal, Fifteen years on the Erie Canal
A friend of mine once got her sore, Now, he’s got a broken jaw
‘Cause she let fly with her iron toe, And kicked him into Buffalo
Chorus: Low bridge, ev’rybody down, Low bridge, I’ve got the finest mule in town
If you’re looking ‘round for trouble, better stay away from Sal
She’s the only fighting donkey on the Erie Canal
I don’t have to call when I want my Sal, Fifteen years on the Erie Canal
She trots from her stall like a good old gal, Fifteen years on the Erie Canal
I eat my meals with Sal each day, I eat beef and she eats hay
She ain’t so slow if you want to know, She put the “Buff” in Buffalo
Chorus: Low bridge, ev’rybody down, Low bridge, I’ve got the finest mule in town
Eats a bale of hay for dinner, and on top of that, my Sal
Tries to drink up all the water in the Erie Canal
You’ll soon hear them sing all about my gal, Fifteen years on the Erie Canal
It’s a darned fool ditty ‘bout my darned fool Sal, Fifteen years on the Erie Canal
Oh, every band will play it soon, Darned fool words and darned fool tune
You’ll hear it sung everywhere you go, from Mexico to Buffalo
Chorus: Low bridge, ev’rybody down, Low bridge, I’ve got the finest mule in town
She’s a perfect, perfect lady, and she blushes like a gal
If she hears you sing about her and the Erie Canal.

The Erie Canal Song
The Erie Canal was completed in October 1825 and provided an important navigable water passage from Albany, New York, on the Hudson River to Buffalo at Lake Erie. This song, also known as "Low Bridge, Everybody Down" was written in 1905 by Thomas S. Allen. Written after mule power was replaced by engine power, it is wistfully nostalgic.
