"Ride a White Swan" is a song by the English underground (and later glam rock) act T. Rex. It was released as a stand-alone single on 9 October 1970 by record label Fly. Like all of the band's songs, it was written by the group's singer, guitarist and founder Marc Bolan.
The song was the band's first hit, and, according to Ned Raggett of AllMusic, the song "inadvertently founded glam rock mania" although Bolan did not wear characteristic glam stage clothing until the promotion of follow up single "Hot Love".
Background
In spring 1969, after three acoustic Tyrannosaurus Rex albums and an equal number of singles released to limited appeal, Bolan began to make the transition from basing his band's sound around an acoustic guitar to basing it around an electric one. The new electric sound was premiered on single "King of the Rumbling Spires" and tracks were recorded for a planned fourth album, before Bolan replaced percussionist Steve Peregrin Took with Mickey Finn following a US tour. Shortly thereafter, the new duo completed the fourth album A Beard of Stars (including some material salvaged from the final Took sessions). This was released in early 1970. Later that year a fifth album was recorded. For its release, Bolan shortened the group's name from Tyrannosaurus Rex to the more manageable T. Rex, also the name of the new album.
The history of the penal colony begins in 1938. Initially it held only political prisoners, mostly priests, but later it has been used for common criminals as well.
White Swan is connected to many legends, it held a number of criminal authorities (Thieves in law), serial killers, and terrorists.
One of the most radical Chechen separatist warlordsSalman Raduyev spent his last days in this prison. He died there under mysterious circumstances.

The song was the band's first hit, and, according to Ned Raggett of AllMusic, the song "inadvertently founded glam rock mania"nalthough Bolan did not wear characteristic glam stage clothing until the promotion of follow up single "Hot Love".
In spring 1969, after three acoustic Tyrannosaurus Rex albums and an equal number of singles released to limited appeal, Bolan began to make the transition from basing his band's sound around an acoustic guitar to an electric. The new sound was premiered on single "King of the Rumbling Spires" and tracks were recorded for a planned fourth album, before Bolan replaced percussionist Steve Peregrin Took with Mickey Finn following a US tour. Shortly thereafter, the new duo completed the fourth album A Beard of Stars (including some material salvaged from the final Took sessions). This was released in early 1970. Later that year a fifth album, T. Rex, was recorded under the band's new shortened name of T. Rex.
"Ride a White Swan", a simple four-stanza lyric with the second repeated as the fourth, was written in Bolan's West London home that he shared with his wife June. In 1976, Bolan suggested that he wrote the song after he was spiked with LSD at the launch of the British version of Rolling Stone magazine in Hanover Square, Westminster. The song, which was brimming with mythological references, was recorded on 1 July 1970. It was less than two minutes long and contained four layered guitar tracks, with Bolan also playing Tony Visconti's Fender Precision bass, with a capo placed on the fourth fret. It included a small string section but no drums, with time being kept with a synchronised tambourine and clap recorded in the bathroom of Trident Studios, London. This location was chosen for the ambient room echo. To extend the song to two and a quarter minutes, Tony Visconti looped Marc Bolan's "da da dee dee dah" vocal line at the end of the song, six times.

Ride it on out like a bird in the sky way, Ride it on out like you were a bird, Fly it all out like an eagle in a sunbeam Ride it all out like you were a bird. Wear a tall hat like a Druid in the old days, Wear a tall hat and a tattooed gown, Ride a white swan like the people of the Beltane, Wear your hair long babe, you can't go wrong Catch a bright star and place it on you forehead, Say a few spells and there you go. Take a black cat and sit it on you shoulder And in the morning you'll know all you know.
