We were forty miles from Albany
Forget it I never shall
What a terrible storm we had that night
On the E-ri-e Canal
Oh, the E-ri-e was a-risin'
And the gin was a-gettin' low
I scarcely think we'll get a drink
'Til we get to Buffalo
'Til we get to Buffalo
We were loaded down with barley
And a chunk full of rye
The captain he looked down on me
With his twisted wicked eye
With his twisted wicked eye
Oh, the E-ri-e was a-risin'
And the gin was a-gettin' low
I scarcely think we'll get a drink
'Til we get to Buffalo
'Til we get to Buffalo
The captain he went out on deck
With a spyglass in his hand
The fog it was so awful thick
He couldn't see the land
He couldn't see the land
Oh, the E-ri-e was a-risin'
And the gin was a-gettin' low
I scarcely think we'll get a drink
'Til we get to Buffalo
'Til we get to Buffalo
Our cook she was a grand old gal
She wore a ragged dress
We hoisted it upon the mast
As a signal of distress
As a signal of distress
Oh, the E-ri-e was a-risin'
And the gin was a-gettin' low
I scarcely think we'll get a drink
'Til we get to Buffalo
'Til we get to Buffalo
The girls are in the police gazette
The crew is all in jail
I'm the only living sea cook's son
That's left to tell the tale
That's left to tell the tale
Oh, the E-ri-e was a-risin'
And the gin was a-gettin' low
I scarcely think we'll get a drink
'Til we get to Buffalo
'Til we get to Buffalo
Oh, the E-ri-e was a-risin'
And the gin was a-gettin' low
I scarcely think we'll get a drink
'Til we get to Buffalo
