Twill be in the valley of love and delight. When true simplicity is gained, To bow and to bend we shan t be ashamed To turn, turn will be our delight, Til by turning, turning we come round right.
Erie Canal I ve got a mule, her name is Sal. Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal. She s a good old worker and a good old pal. Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal. We ve hauled some barges in our day. Filled with lumber, coal, and hay. And we know ev ry inch of the way, From Albany to Buffalo. Woh. Low bridge ev rybody down. Low bridge for we re comin to a town, And you ll always know your neighbor, You ll always know your pal, If you ve ever navigated on the Erie Canal. We d better get along, old gal.

Low bridge for we re comin to a town, And you ll always know your neighbor, You ll always know your pal, If you ve ever navigated on the Erie Canal. Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal.
There on sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue Sits a house that dates back to seventeen ninety-two. This house stands so proudly right in Washington D.C. It s the symbol of our freedom and of our democracy! It s the residence of our presidents, And it s been there over two hundred years. Oh, it s seen a lot of changes, But one thing remains true: If you become the president Then you can live there, too! THE WHITE HOUSE Washington would pick the spot, but Adams first moved in. Madison survived a fire, and they would build again. Some called it a palace, but that s not how others felt. It became known as the White House thanks to Teddy Roosevelt. repeat chorus (2nd Ending) If you become the president then you can live there, too!
