A TRIP ON THE ERIE
TRADITIONAL
4 4 4 5 6 7 -7 -6 6 -5 5
You can talk of your picnics and trips on the
-4
lake,
7 7 -8 6 8 7 -7 7 -8 6 6 6
But a trip on the Erie you bet takes the cake!
6 6 6 7 7 8 8 -8 8 7 -6
With the beef steak as tough as a fighting dog's
6
neck,
4 4 5 6 6 -6 -8 7 -7 -6 -7
And the flies playing tag with the cook on the
7
deck.
CHORUS:
Haul in your towlines and take in ther slack
Take a reef in your britches and straighten your back,
Mind what I tell you and don't you forget
To tap the mules gently when the cook's on the deck.
Now the cook she's a daisy, she's dead gone on me
With her fiery read head, and she's twice twenty-three
She's knpck-kneed and freckled, a dumpling and a pet
And we use her for a headlight at night on the deck.
