Verse 1

We were forty miles from Albany,
G
F#
forget it I nev er shall
G
F#
What a terrible storm we had
G
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
F#
with a spyglass in his hand
G
F#
G
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
F#
G
till we get to Buffalo,
till we get to Buffalo
F#
Our cook, she was a grand old gal,
G
she had a ragged dress
F#
We heisted her upon a pole
as a signal of distress
G
F#
G
Oh, Uriah was a -risin',
F#
G
the gin was a -gettin' low,
D
G
And I scarcely think we'll get a drink
F#
G
till we get to Buffalo,
till we get to Buffalo.
The captain, got married,
and the cook, she went to jail,
F#
And I'm the only son of a gun
that's left to tell the tale.
G
Oh, the year I was a -risin',
the gin was a -gettin' low
F#
And I scarcely think we'll get a drink
G
till we get to Buffalo,
till we get to Buffalo
