"The Aged Pilot Man," from "Roughing It" by Mark Twain, pub. 1872, contains the line '"Low bridge! low bridge!" all heads went down, the laboring bark sped on.' The complete poem posted in thread 57127: Aged Pilor Man

Also see "The Raging Canal," a song by P. Morris, 1844, in thread 38205: Raging canal
(No mention of 'low bridge' here.
