Black Iron Rail (Fast Heavy Blues)

"I’m standing on the platform with a ticket in my hand..."

🚂 The Finale:
This is Track 10, the final stop of The Swamp Sessions. "Black Iron Rail" is a high-speed, harmonica-driven locomotive song that serves as the epic conclusion to the album. It starts fast, gets heavier, and speeds up until it crashes off the tracks.

Play this one at maximum volume.

LYRICS:

I’m standing on the platform with a ticket in my hand
I’m standing on the platform with a ticket in my hand
Waiting for the engine to take me from this land

The conductor has no face and the fireman has no eyes
The conductor has no face and the fireman has no eyes
The smoke is turning black against the midnight skies

Ride the Black Iron Rail, straight to the end of the line
Ride the Black Iron Rail, leaving everything behind
You can try to jump off, but the devil pushes you back inside

The wheels are grinding sparks and the boiler’s running hot
The wheels are grinding sparks and the boiler’s running hot
I’m paying for my passage with everything I got

We’re crossing over the bridge where the muddy water flows
We’re crossing over the bridge where the muddy water flows
Whatever’s waiting on the other side, nobody knows

Full steam ahead!
Throw the coal in the fire!
Burn it all down!

Ride the Black Iron Rail, straight to the end of the line
Ride the Black Iron Rail, leaving everything behind
You can try to jump off, but the devil pushes you back inside

Black Iron Rail!
Black Iron Rail!
