Verse 1
We were forty (G major) miles from (F sharp major) Albany,
for (G major) get it I (F sharp major) nev er shall
(G major) What a terrible storm (F sharp major) we had
one night on the Erie (G major) Canal
For the Erie was a -risin',
the gin was a -gettin' low
And I scarcely think we'll get a drink
till we get to Buffalo
Till we get to Buffalo
Our captain, he come up on deck
with a spyglass (F sharp major) in his hand
(G major) And the fog, it (F sharp major) was so (G major) tarnel -thick
that he couldn't spy the land
Well, the Uriah was a -risin',
the gin was a -gettin' low
And I scarcely think we'll get a drink
(F sharp major) till we get to (G major) Buffalo,
till we get to Buffalo
Our cook, she was a (F sharp major) grand old gal,
she had a ragged dress (G major)
(F sharp major) We heisted her upon a pole
as a signal of distress
(G major) Oh, (F sharp major) (G major) Uriah was a -risin',
the gin was a (F sharp major) -gettin' low, (G major)
And I scarcely think (D major) we'll (G major) get a drink
(F sharp major) till we get to (G major) Buffalo,
till we get to Buffalo.
The captain, got married,
and the cook, she went to jail,
And I'm the (F sharp major) only son of a gun
that's left to tell the tale.
(G major) Oh, the year I was a -risin',
the gin was a -gettin' low
And I scarcely think (F sharp major) we'll get a drink
till we get to (G major) Buffalo,
till we get to Buffalo
