The Erie Canal made Rochester a boom town so of course we all sang this song in grade school. At dinner last night I asked Kevin if he sang this song growing up in Massachusetts. He said, “Of course. It’s a classic American folk song.” The canal stopped at Buffalo but the lakes allowed a continuation of water freight to and from Detroit but Peggi does not remember singing it in school. The song is so descriptive I expected to experience the sensation of ducking under a bridge when I got older.
