LYRICS:
In this vain world of trouble
Many accidents occur
I’m going to sing about one
As sad as you ever heard
It was in Fall River City
They were all burned up and killed
Imprisoned in a factory
Known as the Granite Mills

Now it was my opinion
And it’s my opinion still
They might all have been saved
Had the truth been told
From the flames of the burning mill

The first scene was a cruel one
The girl so young in years
She was standing at the window
And her eyes were bathed in tears
She was standing at the window
As she called her mother’s name
Oh mother, mother, save me
And she fell back in the flames

Now it was my opinion
And it’s my opinion still
They might all have been saved
Had the truth been told
From the flames of the burning mill

The next scene was a hard one
As she passed before my eyes
She was leaping out a window
Thrown from the roof so high
With a crack, she fell down on the ground
She was bruised and burned and killed
Three hundred people lost their lives
In the flames of the burning mill

Now it was my opinion
And it’s my opinion still
They might all have been saved
Had the truth been told
From the flames of the burning mill

One poor girl tried to escape
By sliding down a rope
But when she got but halfway down
The burning strands, they broke
I hope her soul has gone to rest
In a place that’s dearer still
Above, above, in Heaven above
Far away from the burning mill
