about

In 1928, Chantelle's uncle Jean Lussier went over Niagara Falls in a rubber ball. This is his story!

lyrics

An investment in adventure
Six feet of rubber for this venture
Roll me out of Cayuga Island
I don't know if I'll see dryland

The Daredevil of Niagara Falls
Enclosed by red rubber walls
Down, Down, Down he goes
Will he live? No one knows

The rubber ball bobs up and down
Getting ready to feel the comedown
50 minutes that will live on forever
Am I dumb or am I clever?

The Daredevil of Niagara Falls
Enclosed by red rubber walls
Down, Down, Down he goes
Will he live? No one knows

Red Hill riverman waits for me
Takes me out of that cold sea
"I could do it" were my words
To the people gathered in a herd

The Daredevil of Niagara Falls
Out of those red rubber walls
Down, Down, Down he went
And up a new hero arose
