    Low bridge, ev'rybody down
    Low bridge, we're coming to a town
    You'll always know your neighbour
    And you'll always know your pal
    If ya ever navigated on the Erie Canal

    We sang this song in my 5th grade class. Teacher played piano in the room and every time we sang "low bridge everybody down"" we all had to duck down. It was fun and its part of America history. Love the old american folk songs.

      I was a 4th grader in a small town in Tennessee..and we kids loved that “low bridge, everybody down” part too! We all ducked as we sang that part. 55+ yrs later: I still know all the words of this song 😊😎

    I remember learning this song in music class in the 60's, the music teacher played piano....and I found out later he was quite the accomplished pianist, at the time I was a stupid kid, but I still like this song and Mr Springsteen does a very cool cover.

    • @BeYounique...Maryanne

      Oh my goodness, my teacher in 1st grade (1969) played the piano too and this was one of the songs. I loved it!
      Every day the teacher would ask each student what song they wanted to hear. When it was my turn, I always said "Erie Canal." The teacher finally got fed up with me always choosing the same song and scolded me, "Pick something else besides 'Erie Canal'!!!"

    I watched an hour long special on the Erie Canal. "Low Bridge - Everybody Down" that's a real thing. I was moved by the owners attachment to his pal Sal - his mule that pulled the boat. Very moving song with great rhythm & feeling.

    • @davidannderson9796

    My 4th grade class learned this song from our school’s Music Teacher…the school was located in Tullahoma, TN. I still know all the words…many decades later. I just assumed all elementary school kids in the US were taught the Erie Canal song. It’s a fun song for kids, plus a fun way to learn some US history. 😁👍

    I was just reading some history on the packet boats that carried passengers on the Erie canal and how they had to duck under the low bridges. This song sprang into my mind from my childhood. Bruce made this song more wonderful than I could imagine. Love this.

      I’d love working on the Erie Canal lol, it sounds like fun simple work for that time period. They dragged shipping boats using mules with a rope from the side of the canal, but this song was actually written in like the 1930s i think.

This may be the best thing he has ever done- including 'Born To Run' even! Wow! I have never heard folk done with more integrity and sense of personal history. You can really feel the emotions of the people who worked the Erie Canal! Thank you, Bruce!
