Low Bridge Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
So [G]all day long we sweat and bend
To Al[C]bany and back again
On [G]the Erie, i .e., on [D]the Erie [G]Canal
Low bridge, we're [D]getting nearer [G]town
Hey boy, you better get you [D]down
My [G]back's getting tired
and my [C]throat is getting dry
A [G]little nip of whiskey and a swallow of rye
Hey, hello, bridge, is it [D]coming on [G]by?
Well, I had me a gal in Albany,
but she never did quite get [C]used to me
[G]Eerie on the E -[D]R -I -E[G]
I got me a gal in Buffalo,
but she had the habit of [C]saying no
[G]Eerie on the E -[D]R -I -E[G]
So all day long we sweat and bend
to [C]Albany
And back again on [G]the Erie,
i .e. on the [D]Erie Canal
[G]Low Bridge, we're get[D]ting nearer tow[G]n
Hey boy, you better get your [Am]down
[D]My bac[G]k's getting tired
and my [C]throat is getting dry
A [G]little nip of whiskey and a swallow of rye
Hey, a low bridge is a [D]-comin' on [G]by
Now gals only make a man a fool
He's better off crestin' [C]his own mule
[G]Eerie on the [D]Erie
[G]Then I bought the Erie for her sweet hand
But she ran off with a [C]railroad van
[G]Eerie on the [D]Erie
[G]So all day long we sweat and bend
To [C]Albany and back again
On [G]the Erie, on the [D]Erie [G]Canal
Lowbridge, we're [D]getting nearer [G]town
Hey boy, you better niche you [Am]down
[D]My [G]back's getting tired
and my [C]throat is getting dry
A [G]little nickel,
whiskey and a [D]swallow of [G]rye
Hey, Lowbridge, is it [D]coming on [G]by?
Hey, Lowbridge, is it [D]coming on [G]by?
Hey, ya low, low, low, low, bridge
