The Er-I-Ee Was a’Rising Bobby Darin

We were forty miles from Albany
Forget it I never shall
What a terrible storm we had one night
On the ER-I-EE Canal

We were forty miles from Albany
Forget it I never shall
What a terrible storm we had one night
On the ER-I-EE Canal

Ooh... the ER-I-EE was risin'
And the gin was gettin' low
And I scarcely think
We'll get a little drink
'Til we get to Buffalo
'Til we get to Buffalo

We were loaded down with barley
And the crew was full of rye
And the captain he looked down at me
With a strange look in his eye

The ER-I-EE was risin'
And the gin was gettin' low
And I scarcely think
We'll get a little drink
'Til we get to Buffalo
'Til we get to Buffalo
