It was hot night on Goat Island, in 1848
And little Nettie wanted to play
She pulled on the sleeve of a family friend
Her parents said it was okay

The young man picked her up, but Nettie wiggled away
And landed just a footstep too far
The river pulled her in, the young man tried to swim
When they found them she was still in his arms

Oh, Mighty Niagara, come and see what you have done
Oh, Mighty Niagara, stole the soul of another young one

Old Red Hill Senior grew up on her shores
Her every nook and eddie he did swim
He saw the suicides, the daredevils with big eyes
He watched them, and he dragged their corpses in

The idea crossed Red's mind, to try the jump himself
To win riches and fame beyond compare
But the old man kept his head, died peacefully in bed
But Red Hill Junior, well, that's a whole different affair

Oh, Mighty Niagara, come and see what you have done
Oh, Mighty Niagara, stole the soul of another young one

Well I learned all these stories from a history book
And that's how I know they're all true
But if you think it's bunk, go on and try your luck
Next week we'll be singing about you

Oh, Mighty Niagara, come and see what you have done
Oh, Mighty Niagara, stole the soul of another young one

Stole the soul of another star-struck one
Stole the soul of another lovelorn one
