The RoadTrash Band - Iron & Ash Lyrics

It was a frigid winter night
Every star was clear and bright
The "Olde Montreal," she was running late
But the devil had his way
And 37 people met their fate

The sleeper in the back
She blew right off the track
Taking three more coaches as she fell
It happened all too fast
And now a scene of hell
And their souls were forever
River-bottom bound

Darkness and confusion everywhere
Flames 150 feet in the air
The crewmen tried hard to put that wreckage out
But the fire, it raged on
Now all that's left is the iron and ash and stinkin' smell

The sleeper in the back
She blew right off the track
Taking three more coaches as she fell
It happened all too fast
And now a scene of hell
And their souls were forever
River-bottom bound

A ghost of a boy
Is seen from time to time
Searching for what he will never find
A haunting reminder of what happened that night

The sleeper in the back
She blew right off the track
Taking three more coaches as she fell
It happened all too fast
And now a scene of hell
And their souls were forever
River-bottom bound
Yeah
