What a terrible storm we had

one night on the Erie 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
A
with a spyglass in his hand
Bb

And the fog, it was so 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
A

till we get to Buffalo,
till we get to Buffalo

Our cook, she was a grand old gal,

she had a ragged dress

We heisted her upon a pole
as a signal of dis tress

The captain, got married,
and the cook, she went to jail,

And I'm the only son of a gun
that's left to tell the tale.

Oh, the year I was a -risin',
the gin was a -gettin' low
A
And I scarcely think we'll get a drink
Bb
till we get to Buffalo,
till we get to Buffalo
