1st Erie Canal trip completed:
The Seneca Chief
1st arrives at NYC on 11/2/1825 (and also on 11/4)
You may talk about pleasures
And trips on the lake;
But a trip on the Erie,
You bet, takes the cake.
With the beefsteak as tough
As a fighting dog's neck
And the flies playing tag
With the cook on the deck.
