E-RI-E CANAL chrom
19th C. American folk song
Key: D

-3  -3  -5  -5  -4    -3  -5 -5 -4
We were for-ty miles from Al-ba-ny
-3  -5  -5 -5 6  5*  -5
For-get it I nev-er shall
 -3 -3 -5  -5 -5    6   6  -6* -6*   7
What a ter-ri-ble storm we had one night
7   7 -6*-5 6 5* -5
On the E-ri-e Ca-nal
-6*  6 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -4 -3
Oh, the E-ri-e was a-ris-in’
-3  -3  -5  -5 -5  6   5*  -5
And the gin was a-get-tin’ low
-3 -3   -5   -5   6     6   -6* -6* 7
And I scarce-ly think we’ll get a drink
 7   7  -6* -5  6  5* -5-4-3
Till we get to Buf-fa-lo-o-o,
 -3  -3 -5  -5  6  5* -5
Till we get to Buf-fa-lo
