Burl Ives was a folksinger and actor-- not a songwriter. The Erie Canal song was written long before Mr. Ives, and presumably sometime after 1825 when the canal was built. There were a lot of songs written about the Erie and other canals, just like there would be a lot of songs written about trains after trains made canals obsolete.
Thomas Allen wrote the song, "Low Bridge, Everybody Down" in 1905. Some famous singers recorded the song including Bruce Springsteen, Pete Seeger, and the Kingston Trio.
