The captain boards his ship and gazes once more at the shore
And waves to wife and children who he may see nevermore
For he has cast his fortune in the wandering water’s flow
He says "Farewell dear Albany, set Sal for Buffalo"
The voyage was calm til three days out there rose a northerly breeze
The rain poured down, the barge was tossed, the mule began to sneeze
The first mate jumped off at a farm and ran into the gale
He went to find a hayloft- Captain ordered him to bail
One fathom down and one foot more in sunken wrecks are found
The bones of brave and fearless men the Erie Canal has drowned
No use was sextant, charts or glass in such a heavy fog
But by the starboard bow we saw the mule chased by a dog
She crossed a bridge and jumped and swung out hanging by her neck
The towline snapped and poor old Sal crashed right down through the deck
The water quickly filled the barge and lifted up our kilts
And none of us knew how to swim and no one packed the stilts
The captain ordered us to sit and die a noble death
If we’d just stood up for ourselves we could have caught out breath

Just imagine if these outtakes made it into EATEOT, the project would've been over seven hours! I love how "I Might Be Vanishing" is a stark contrast from other tracks, being only nine seconds. 913GA
