If there’s anything I’ve learned from this song, is that Firemen on the railway are under appreciated.

As another song said paraphrased “the driver thinks he’s hot stuff, but without [the fireman] the train don’t go.”

When I was younger, I dreamt of being a fireman on a steam engine. Needless to say, this song ruined that dream.

When I was little I wanted to be a fireman so damn bad but reality ruined that dream. I tried doing a footplate experience thing but I couldn’t fire the whole way and had to get the fireman to stoke for me

Lyrics: It's not all beer and skittles this blooming job of mine, And it's not a bed of roses, cause the fire is on the line. They don't give you much money, but a lot of slack instead, And they said you had to work at night to earn your daily bread. Just fancy being knocked off in the middle of the night, With the noise enough to wake the dead and give the neighbours fright. You leave your bed with sad regrets prepared to work a train, And they tell you that job is capped and it's back to bed again. When you get down to the shed that's when the "fun" begins, You find that someone's pinched your lamp and tools, another thing. Of course it's all against the rules but still you do the same, Go and pinch someone's else's or it will be you who get's the blame. You often get an engine that is very shy of steam, It's then you start to realise that it isn't all a dream. Your mate sits in the corner doing nothing else but moan, Till you wished to Christ he shut up, get off, or stay at home And when the pegs are danger, just as sure as your alive, There is a rule made by some fool, they call it 55. You have to tramp back half a mile through hail, or snow, or rain, To sign a book, then sling your hook and tramp it back again. And when the journeys' ended and the foreman says sign off, Miles from home you've landed without money, backet, or scoff. Lodge over at the barracks, built inside the station yard, Where the engines sing you lullabies, and the beds are bleeding hard. Or perhaps it's private's digging, that's another lively hole, It's ten to one the fire's gone out, and to find the bloody coal. You go to bed half famished, and it's pretend it's for the best, It's said when your belly's empty, then your brains will get a rest. It's really aggravating, and it chills you to the bone, When they call you up and tell you to work the diner home. On the homeward trip the shovel seems to weight at least at tonne, But you've still got a couple of tonnes to shift before your done. For the umpteenth time you swear you'll jump the job and do no more, Reach home and then book in nine hours and the game starts as before. I very often wonder, if I'll get to driver's job, But sick and tired of fighting 60 hours for thirty pound. Drivers don't retire, on the footplate they take root, As a fireman I must wait until I fill up dead men's boots. I'll be swinging shovels till I die, and then to heaven go, Or perhaps I'll still be firing for the old lad down below.

Something tells me that the Fireman’s job isn’t really that great. In all seriousness, this is very good. The use of ol’ Edward as the “engine who’s shy to steam” was very clever.

It was always the dream until it became the reality. Most think its just throwing coal on a fire and letting it burn. You need a good draft, clear grate, good coal (n9t much of that in the 60s 😂) . Ive only done it on traction engines, but its a bloody hard job. Over firing it just makes clinker, then your fire bars start to melt if you dont clear it. And at the end of the day, trying to get the fire bars out when theres a lump of clinker holding everything together.. not the best
