Led Zeppelin Lyrics

LED ZEPPELIN

(Atlantic January 12, 1969)



Good Times Bad Times

In the days of my youth

I was told what it was to be a man,

Now I've reached the age

I've tried to do all those things the best I can.

No matter how I try,

I find my way to do the same old jam.



Chorus

Good Times, Bad Times,

You know I had my share;

When my woman left home

With a brown eyed man,

Well, I still don't seem to care.



Sixteen: I fell in love

With a girl as sweet as could be,

Only took a couple of days

Till she was rid of me.

She swore that she would be all mine And love me till the end,

When I whispered in her ear

I lost another friend, oooh.



Chorus



I know what it means to be alone,

I sure do wish I was at home.

I don't care what the neighbors say, I'm gonna love you each and every day. 

You can feel the beat within my heart. 

Realize, sweet babe, we ain't ever gonna part.





Babe I'm Gonna Leave You
 

Babe, baby, baby, I'm Gonna Leave You.

I said baby, you know I'm gonna leave you.

I'll leave you when the summertime,

Leave you when the summertime comes arollin'

Leave you when the summer comes along.



Baby, baby, I don't wanna leave you,

I ain't jokin' woman, I got to ramble.

Oh, yeah, baby, baby, I won't be there, Really got to ramble.

I can hear it callin' me the way it used to do, I can hear it callin' me back home.



I know, I never leave you, baby.

But I got to go away from this place, I've got to quit you. Ooh, baby,

Baby, ooh don't you hear it callin'?

Woman, woman, I know, I know it's good to have you back again 

And I know that one day baby, it's really gonna grow, yes it is. 

We gonna go walkin' through the park every day.

Hear what I say, every day.

Baby, it's really growin', you made me happy when the skies were grey. 

But now I've got to go away

Baby, baby, baby, baby

That's when it's callin' me

That's when it's callin' me back home...





You Shook Me

You know you shook me,

You shook me all night long.

You know you shook me, baby,

You shook me all night long.

You shook me so hard baby,

Baby, baby, please come home.



I have a bird that whistles,

And I have birds that sing.

I have a bird that whistles,

And I have birds that sing.

I have a bird won't do nothing, oh!

Oh, oh, buy a diamond ring.



You know you shook me, baby,

You shook me all night long.

I know you really, really, did baby. I said you shook me, baby.

You shook me all night long.

You shook me so hard, baby.

You shook me all night long.

 



Dazed And Confused

Been Dazed and Confused for so long it's not true,

Wanted a woman, never bargained for you.

Lots of people talk and few of them know, Soul of a woman was created below. Yeah! 

You hurt and abused tellin' all of your lies, Run around sweet baby, Lord how they hypnotize. 

Sweet little baby, I don't know where you've been, Oh, I love you baby, here I come again.



Every day I work so hard

Bringin' home my hard earned pay

Try to love you baby, but you push me away. Don't know where you're goin'

I don't know just where you've been, Sweet little baby, I want you again.



Been dazed and confused for so long, it's not true,

Wanted a woman, never bargained for you.

Take it easy baby, let them say what they will.

Will your tongue wag so much when I send you the bill?





Your Time Is Gonna Come

Lyin', cheatin', hurtin, that's all you seem to do. Messin' around with every guy in town,

Puttin' me down for thinkin' of someone new. Always the same, playin' your game,

Drive me insane, troubles gonna come to you, One of these days and it won't be long, 

You'll look for me, and, baby, I'll be gone. 

Your Time Is Gonna Come (4 times)



Made up my mind to break you this time, Won't be so fine, it's my turn to cry.

Do want you want, I won't take the brunt. It's fadin' away, can't feel you anymore. 

Don't care what you say 'cause I'm gone away to stay, 

Gonna make you pay for this great big hole in my heart. 

People talkin' all around,

Watch out woman, no longer is

The joke gonna be in my heart.



You been bad to me woman,

But it's coming back home to you.



Your Time Is Gonna Come (4 times)





Black Mountain Side 

(instrumental)



Communication Breakdown

Hey, girl, stop what you're doin'!

Hey, girl, you'll drive me to ruin.

I don't know what it is about you,

But I like it alot.

Oh, let me hold you,

Let me feel your lovin' charms.



Chorus

Communication Breakdown,

It's always the same,

I'm having a nervous breakdown,

Drive me insane!



Hey, girl, I got something I think you ought to know. 

Hey, babe, I wanna tell you that I love you so.

I wanna hold you in my arms, yeah!

I'm never gonna let you go,

Yes, I like your charms.

Chorus





I Can't Quit You, Baby

I Can't Quit You, Baby,

So I'm gonna put you down for awhile.

I can't quit you, baby,

I guess I gotta put you down for awhile.

Said you messed up my happy home,

Made me mistreat my only child.

Yessir, you did!



Said you know I love you, baby,

My love for you I could never hide.

Oh, you know I love you, baby,

My love for you I could never hide.

Oh, when I feel you near me little girl

I know you are my one desire.



When you hear me moaning and groaning, baby,

You know it hurts me deep down inside.

When you hear me moaning and groaning, baby,

You know it hurts me deep down inside.

Oh, when you hear me, honey, baby,

You know you're my one desire.

Yes, you are.





How Many More Times

How Many More Times,

Treat me the way you wanna do?

How Many More Times,

Treat me the way you wanna do?

When I give you all my love, Please, please be true.



I'll give you all I've got to give, Rings, pearls, and all.

I'll give you all I've got to give, Rings, pearls, and all.

I've got to get you together baby, I'm sure, sure you're gonna crawl. 

I was a young man, I couldn't resist 

Started thinkin' it all over, just what I had missed. 

Got me a girl and I kissed her and then and then Whoops, oh Lordy, well I did it again.

Now I got ten children of my own

I got another child on the way that makes eleven. But you know, I'm in constant heaven.

I know it's all right in my mind

I got a little schoolgirl and she's all mine

I can't get through to her 'cause it doesn't permit 

But I'm gonna give her everything I've got to give. 

Oh, Rosie, oh, girl

Oh, Rosie, oh, girl

Steal away now, steal away

Steal away baby, steal away

Little Robert Anthony wants to come and play. 

Why don't you come to me baby?

Steal away, all right, all right...



They call me the hunter, that's my name

They call me the hunter, that's how I got my fame Ain't no need to hide,

Ain't no need to run

'Cause I've got you in the sights of my .........gun! 

How Many More Times

Barrelhouse all night long?

How Many More Times

Barrelhouse all night long?

I've got to get to you, baby

Baby, please come home.

Why don't you please come home?

Why don't you please come home?

I wanna be your backdoor man.

Hey, oh, hey, oh

What Is And What Should Never Be

And if I say to you tomorrow,

Take my hand, child, come with me.

It's to a castle I will take you, Well, what's to be, they say will be. 

Chorus

Catch the wind, see us spin,

Sail away, leave today,

Way up high in the sky.

Then the wind won't blow,

You really shouldn't go,

It only goes to show

That you will be mine

By takin' our time. Ooh!



And if you say to me tomorrow,

Oh what fun it all would be,

Then what's to stop us, pretty baby, But What Is And What Should Never 

Be. 

Chorus



So if you wake up with the sunrise, And all your dreams are still as new, And 

happiness is what you need so bad, Girl, the answer lies with you, yeah. 

Chorus



Everybody I know seems to know me well 

but does anybody know I'm gonna move like hell

but they're never gonna know cause I move like hell.

 



The Lemon Song

I should have quit you long time ago,

yeah, long time ago.

I wouldn't be here, my children,

down on this killin' floor.



I should have listened, baby, to my second mind

I should have listened, baby, to my second mind Everytime I go away and leave you, darling, You 

send me the blues way down the line.



Babe, treat me right, baby, my my my People tellin' me baby can't be satisfied; They 

try to worry me baby

But they never hurt you in my eyes.



Said, people worry I can't keep you satisfied.

Let me tell you baby,

You ain't nothin but a two-bit, no-good jive.



Went to sleep last night, worked as hard as I can,

Bring home my money, you take my money, give it to another man; I should have quit you, baby, such a long time ago,

I wouldn't be here with all my troubles

Down on this killin floor.



Squeeze me baby, till the juice runs down my leg,

Squeeze me baby, till the juice runs down my leg; The way you squeeze my lemon,

I swear I'm gonna fall right out of bed.



With you down on this killin floor.





Thank You

If the sun refused to shine,

I would still be lovin' you.

When mountains crumble to the sea, There'll still be you and me.



Kind woman, I give you my all,



Kind woman, nothing more.



Little drops of rain whisper of the pain, Tears of loves lost in the days gone by. 

My love is strong, with you there is no wrong, Together we shall go until we die.

My, my, my,

Inspiration's what you are to me, Inspiration, look see.



And so today, my world it smiles, Your hand in mine, we walk the miles, 

Thanks to you it will be done,

For you to me are the only one. Happiness, no more be sad, 

Happiness....I'm glad.





Heartbreaker
 

Hey fellas, have you heard the news?

You know that Annie's back in town?

It won't take long just to watch and see How the fellas lay their money down. Her 

style is new but the face is the same As it was so long ago,

But from her eyes is a diff'rent smile Like that of one who knows.



Well, it's been ten years and maybe more Since I first put eyes on you;

The best years of my life gone by,

Here I am alone and blue.

Some people cry and some people die

By the wicked ways of love;

But I'll just keep on rollin' along With the grace of the Lord above.



People talkin' all around 'bout the way you left me flat,

I don't care what people say, I know where their jive is at. One thing I do have on my mind, if you can clarify please do, 

It's the way you call me by another guy's name when I try to make love to you! I try to make love but it ain't no use.

Give it to me, give it!



Work so hard I couldn't unwind,

Get some money saved;

Abuse my love a thousand times,

However hard I tried.

Heartbreaker, your time has come,

Can't take your evil way;

Go away,

Heartbreaker.





Living Loving Maid (She's Just A Woman)
 

With a purple umbrella and a fifty cent hat,

Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.

Missus cool rides out in her aged Cadillac.

Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.



Chorus

Come on, babe on the round about,

Ride on the merry-go-round,

We all know what your name is,

So you better lay your money down.



Alimony, alimony payin' your bills,

Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.

When your conscience hits, you knock it back with pills. Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.



Chorus



Tellin' tall tales of how it used to be.

Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.

With the butler and the maid and the servants three. Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.



Chorus



Nobody hears a single word you say.

Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.

But you keep on talkin' till your dyin' day. Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.



Chorus





Ramble On

Leaves are falling all around,

It's time I was on my way.

Thanks to you, I'm much obliged

For such a pleasant stay.



And now it's time for me to go,

The autumn moon lights my way.

But now I smell the rain,

And with it pain,

And it's headed my way.

Ah, sometimes I grow so tired,

But I know one thing I got to do,



Ramble On,

And now's the time, the time is now

To sing my song.

I'm goin' 'round the world,

I got to find my girl, on my way.

Been this way ten years to the day, Ramble On, Find the queen of all my dreams.



Got no time to for spreadin' roots,

The time has come to be gone.

And tho' our health we drank a thousand times, It's time to Ramble On.



Chorus



Mine's a tale that can't be told,

My freedom I hold dear;

How years ago in days of old

When magic filled the air,

T'was in the darkest depth of Mordor

I met a girl so fair,

But Gollum, the evil one crept up

And slipped away with her.

Her, her....yea.

Ain't nothing I can do, no.





Moby Dick
 

(instrumental)





Bring It On Home

Baby, baby

I'm gonna bring it on home to you.

I've got my ticket, I've got that load.

Got up, gone higher, all aboard. Take my seat, right way back. 

Watch that train roll down the track. I'm gonna bring it on home,

Bring it on home to you.

Watch out, watch out.



Try to tell you baby

what you tryin' to do?

Tryin' to love me baby

love some other man too.

Bring it on home...



Went a little walk downtown,

messed and got back late.

Found a note there waiting

It said, "Daddy, I just can't wait."

Bring it on home... Bring it back home to me baby... 

Tell you, pretty baby,

you love to mess me `roun'.

I'm gonna give you lovin', baby,

gonna move you out o' town.

Bring it on home...



Sweetest little baby

I'm gonna give you lovin'

i'm gonna give you more.

Bring it on home, etc.



Bring it on home,

bring it on home to you....







LED ZEPPELIN III

(Atlantic October 5, 1970)



Immigrant Song

Ah, ah, ah, ah

We come from the land of the ice and snow,

From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.

The hammer of the gods

Will drive our ships to new lands,

To fight the hoarde and sing and cry

Valhalla, I am coming!

On we sweep with threshing car,

Our only goal will be the western shore.



Ah, ah, ah, ah

We come from the land of the ice and snow,

From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.

How soft your fields so green,

Can whisper tales of gore,

Of how we calmed the tides of war.

We are your overlords.

On we sweep with threshing car,

Our only goal will be the western shore.

 

So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins,

For peace and trust can win the day

Despite of all your losing.





Friends

Bright light almost blinding, Black night still there shining,

I can't stop, keep on climbing, Looking for what I knew.

 

Had a friend, she once told me, "You got love, you ain't lonely," Now 

she's gone and left me only Looking for what I knew.

 

Mmm, I'm telling you now,

The greatest thing you ever can do now,

Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now, It's very easy just.

 

Met a man on the roadside crying,

Without a friend, there's no denying, You're incomplete, they'll be no finding Looking for 

what you knew.

 

So anytime somebody needs you,

Don't let them down, altho' it grieves you, Some day you'll need someone like they do, 

Looking for what you knew.



Mmm, I'm telling you now,

The greatest thing you ever can do now,

Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now, It's very easy just...ooh, yeah.



 

Celebration Day

Her face is cracked from smiling,

All the fears that she's been hiding,

And it seems pretty soon ev'rybody's gonna know.

And her voice is sore from shouting,

Cheering winners who are losing,

And she worries if their days are few

And soon they'll have to go.

 

Chorus

My, my, my, I'm so happy,

I'm gonna join the band,

We are gonna dance and sing in celebration, We are in the promised land.

 

She hears them talk of new ways

To protect the home she lives in, Then she wonders what it's all about 

When they break down the door.

 

Her name is Brown or White or Black, You know her very well,

You hear her cries of mercy

As the winners toll the bell.



Chorus

 

There is a train that leaves the station

Heading for your destination,

But the price you pay to nowhere has increased a dollar more. Yes, it has!

And if you walk you're gonna get there

Tho' it takes a little longer,

And when you see it in the distance

You will wring your hands and moan.





Since I've Been Loving You
 

Oh!



Workin' from seven to eleven ev'ry night,

It really makes life a drag,

I don't think that's right.

I've really, really been the best of fools, I did what I could, yeah

'Cause I love you, baby,

How I love you, darling,

How I love you, baby,

How I love you, girl, little girl.

But baby, Since I've Been Loving You, yeah, I'm about to lose my worried mind, oh, yeah.

 

Ev'rybody trying to tell me

That you didn't mean me no good.

I've been trying, Lord, let me tell you,

Let me tell you I really did the best I could. 

I've been working from seven to eleven ev'ry night, I said It kinda makes my life a drag.

Lord, that ain't right, no no!

Since I've Been Loving You,

I'm about to lose my worried mind.

Said I've been crying,

My tears they fell like rain,

Don't you hear,

Don't you hear them falling,

Don't you hear,

Don't you hear them falling.

 

Said I been cryin, yeah!

Oh my tears they felt like rain.

Don't you hear them falling?

Don't you hear them?



Do you remember, mama, when I knocked upon your door?

I said you had the nerve to tell me

You didn't want me no more, yeah

I open my front door, hear my back door slam,

You must have one of them new fangled,

New fangled back door man,

 

I've been working from seven, seven, seven,

To eleven ev'ry night,

It kinda makes my life a drag, a drag, drag,

Ah, yeah, it makes a drag.

Baby, Since I've Been Loving You,

I'm about to lose,

I'm about to lose, lose my worried mind.



Just one more!

Oh yeah

Since I've Been Loving You, I'm about to lose my worried mind.

 



Out On The Tiles
 

As I walk down the highway all I do is sing this song,

And a train that's passin' my way helps the rhythm move along. There is no doubt about the words are clear,

The voice is strong, is oh so strong.

 

I'm just a simple guy, I live from day to day.

A ray of sunshine melts my frown and blows my blues away, There's nothing more that I can say but on a day like today I 

pass the time away and walk a quiet mile with you.

 

Chorus

All I need from you is all your love,

All you got to give to me is all your love,

All I need from you is all your love,

All you got to give to me is all your love.

Oooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah, oh yeah.

 

I'm so glad I'm living and gonna tell the world I am, I got me a fine woman and she says that I'm her man, 

One thing that I know for sure gonna give her all the loving Like nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody can.

 

Standing in the noonday sun trying to flag a ride,

People go and people come, see my rider right by my side, It's a total disgrace, they set the pace, it must be a race And the best 

thing I can do is run.

 

Chorus





Gallows Pole

Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while,

Think I see my friends coming,

Riding a many mile.

Friends, did you get some silver?

Did you get a little gold?

What did you bring me, my dear friends,

To keep me from the Gallows Pole?

What did you bring me to keep me from the Gallows Pole?

 

I couldn't get no silver, I couldn't get no gold,

You know that we're too damn poor

To keep you from the Gallows Pole.

 

Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while, I think I see my brother coming,

Riding a many mile.

Brother, did you get me some silver? Did you get a little gold?

What did you bring me, my brother,

To keep me from the Gallows Pole?

 

Brother, I brought you some silver,

I brought a little gold,

I brought a little of ev'ry thing

To keep you from the Gallows Pole.

Yes, I brought you to keep you from the Gallows Pole.

 

Hangman, hangman, turn your head awhile,

I think I see my sister coming,

Riding a many mile, mile, mile.

Sister, I implore you, take him by the hand, Take him to some shady bower,

Save me from the wrath of this man,

Please take him,

Save me from the wrath of this man, man.

 

Hangman, hangman, upon your face a smile, Pray tell me that I'm free to ride,

Ride for many mile, mile, mile.

 

Oh, yes, you got a fine sister, She warmed my blood from cold, Brought 

my blood to boiling hot

To keep you from the Gallows Pole, Your brother brought me silver, 

Your sister warmed my soul,

But now I laugh and pull so hard

And see you swinging on the Gallows Pole



Keep-a-swingin'!

Swingin' on the gallows pole!







Tangerine

Measuring a summer's day,

I only finds it slips away to grey,

The hours, they bring me pain.







 

Chorus

Tangerine, Tangerine,

Living reflection from a dream;

I was her love, she was my queen,

And now a thousand years between.

 

Thinking how it used to be,

Does she still remember times like these?

To think of us again?

And I do.

 

Chorus





That's The Way
 

I don't know how I'm gonna tell you

I can't play with you no more,

I don't know how I'm gonna do what mama told me,

My friend, the boy next door.

 

I can't believe what people saying

You're gonna let your hair hang down,

I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long, You're in the darker side of town.

 

And when I'm out I see you walking,

Why don't your eyes see me,

Could it be you've found another game to play, What did mama say to me.

 

Chorus

That's The Way,

Oh, That's The Way it ought to be,

Yeah, yeah, mama say

That's The Way it ought to stay.

 

And yesterday I saw you standing by the river, And weren't those tears that filled your eyes, And all 

the fish that lay in dirty water dying, Had they got you hypnotized?

 

And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers, But all that lives is born to die.

And so I say to you that nothing really matters,

And all you do is stand and cry.

 

I don't know what to say about it, When all you ears have turned away, 

But now's the time to look and look again at what you see, Is that the way it ought to stay?



That's the way

That's the way it oughtta be

Oh don't you know now

Mama said.. that's the way it's gonna stay, yeah.

 



Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
 

Ah caught you smiling at me,

That's the way it should be,

Like a leaf is to a tree, so fine.

 

Ah all the good times we had,

I sang love songs so glad

Always smiling, never sad, so fine.

 

Chorus

As we walk down the country lanes,

I'll be singing a song,

Hear me calling your name.

Hear the wind within the trees, Telling Mother Nature 'bout you and me. 

Well if the sunshines so bright,

Or on our way it's darkest night

The road we choose is always right, so fine.

 

Ah can your love be so strong

When so many loves go wrong

Will our love go on and on and on and on and on and on? 

Chorus

 

My, my la de la come on now it ain't too far,

Tell your friends all around the world,

Ain't no companion like a blue eyed merle.

Come on now well let me tell you,

What you're missing, missing, 'round them brick walls.

 

So of one thing I am sure,

It's a friendship so pure,

Angels singing all around

My dog is so fine.

Yeah, ain't but one thing to do

Spend my nat'ral life with you,

You're the finest dog I knew, so fine.

 

When you're old and your eyes are dim, There ain't no old Shep gonna happen again, 

We'll still go walking down country lanes, I'll sing the same old songs,

Hear me call your name.

Hey, baby, oh, baby, pretty baby, Tell me what you do me now. (Repeat)



Didn't take too long 'fore I found out What people mean my down and out. 

Spent my money, took my car,

Started tellin' her friends she wants to be a star.

I don't know but I been told

A big legged woman ain't got no soul.



Chorus



All I ask for when I pray,

Steady rollin' woman gonna come my way.

Need a woman gonna hold my hand

And tell me no lies, make me a happy man.





Rock And Roll
 

It's been a long time since I Rock and Rolled,

It's been a long time since I did the Stroll. Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back, Let me 

get it back, baby, where I come from. It's been a long time, been a long time, 

Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time. Yes it has.



It's been a long time since the book of love,

I can't count the tears of a life with no love.

Carry me back, carry me back,

Carry me back, baby, where I come from.

It's been a long time, been a long time,

Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.



Seems so long since we walked in the moonlight,

Making vows that just can't work right.

Open your arms, opens your arms,

Open your arms, baby, let my love come running in.

It's been a long time, been a long time,

Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.

 



The Battle Of Evermore
 

Queen of Light took her bow

And then she turned to go,

The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom And walked the night alone.



Oh, dance in the dark of night,

Sing to the morn    -    ing   light. The dark Lord rides in force tonight And 

time will tell us all.



Oh, throw down your plow and hoe, Rest not to lock your homes.



Side by side we wait the might

Of the darkest of them all.



I hear the horses' thunder

Down in the valley blow,

I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon, Waiting for the eastern glow.



The apples of the valley hold,

The seeds of happiness,

The ground is rich from tender care, Repay, do not forget, no, no.

Oh, dance in the dark of night, sing to the morning light.



The apples turn to brown and black, The tyrant's face is red.



Oh the war is common cry,

Pick up you swords and fly.

The sky is filled with good and bad That mortals never know.



Oh, well, the night is long

The beads of time pass slow,

Tired eyes on the sunrise,

Waiting for the eastern glow.



The pain of war cannot exceed

The woe of aftermath,

The drums will shake the castle wall, The ring wraiths ride in black, Ride 

on.



Sing as you raise your bow,

Shoot straighter than before.

No comfort has the fire at night That lights the face so cold.



Oh dance in the dark of night,

Sing to the mornin' light.

The magic runes are writ in gold

To bring the balance back.

Bring it back.



At last the sun is shining,

The clouds of blue roll by,

With flames from the dragon of darkness

The sunlight blinds his eyes.





Stairway To Heaven
 

There's a lady who's sure

All that glitters is gold

And she's buying a stairway to heaven. When she gets there she knows

If the stores are all closed

With a word she can get what she came for. Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven. 

There's a sign on the wall

But she wants to be sure

'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings. In a tree by the brook

There's a songbird who sings,

Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven. Ooh, it makes me wonder,

Ooh, it makes me wonder.



There's a feeling I get

When I look to the west,

And my spirit is crying for leaving.

In my thoughts I have seen

Rings of smoke through the trees,

And the voices of those who standing looking. Ooh, it makes me wonder,

Ooh, it really makes me wonder.



And it's whispered that soon

If we all call the tune

Then the piper will lead us to reason. And a new day will dawn

For those who stand long

And the forests will echo with laughter.



If there's a bustle in your hedgerow

Don't be alarmed now,

It's just a spring clean for the May queen. Yes, there are two paths you can go by

But in the long run

There's still time to change the road you're on. And it makes me wonder.



Your head is humming and it won't go

In case you don't know,

The piper's calling you to join him,

Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, And did you know

Your stairway lies on the whispering wind. 

And as we wind on down the road

Our shadows taller than our soul.

There walks a lady we all know

Who shines white light and wants to show How ev'rything still turns to gold. And 

if you listen very hard

The tune will come to you at last. When all are one and one is all

To be a rock and not to roll.



And she's buying a stairway to heaven.





Misty Mountain Hop

Walkin' in the park just the other day, Baby,

What do you, what do you think I saw?

Crowds of people sittin' on the grass with flowers in their hair said, "Hey, Boy, do you wanna score?"

And you know how it is;

I really don't know what time it was, woh, oh,

So I asked them if I could stay awhile.



I didn't notice but it had got very dark and I was really,

Really out of my mind.

Just then a policeman stepped up to me and asked us said,

"Please, hey, would we care to all get in line,

Get in line."

Well you know,

They asked us to stay for tea and have some fun,

Oh, oh, he said that his friends would all drop by, ooh.



Why don't you take a good look at yourself and describe what you see,

And Baby, Baby, Baby, do you like it?

There you sit, sitting spare like a book on a shelf rustin'

Ah, not trying to fight it.

You really don't care if they're coming, oh, oh,



I know that it's all a state of mind, ooh.



If you go down in the streets today, Baby, you better,

You better open your eyes.

Folk down there really don't care, really don't care, don't care, really don't Which, which way the pressure lies,

So I've decided what I'm gonna do now.

So I'm packing my bags for the Misty Mountains

Where the spirits go now,

Over the hills where the spirits fly, ooh.

I really don't know.





Four Sticks
 

Oh, Baby, it's cryin' time,

Oh, Baby, I got to fly.

Got to try to find a way,

Got to try to get away,

'Cause you know I gotta get away from you, Babe. 

Oh, Baby, the river's red,

Oh, Baby, in my head.

There's a funny feelin' goin' on,

I don't think I can hold out long.



Chorus

And when the owls cry in the night,

Oh, Baby, Baby, when the pines begin to cry, Baby, Baby, Baby, how do you feel?

If the river runs dry, Baby,

How do you feel?



Craze, Baby, the rainbow's end,

Mmm, Baby, it's just a den

For those who hide,

Who hide their love to depths of life

And ruin dreams that we all knew so, Babe.



Chorus





Going To California
 

Spent my days with a woman unkind,

Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine. Made up my mind to make a new 

start, 

Going To California with an aching in my heart.



Someone told me there's a girl out there

With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.

Took my chances on a big jet plane,

Never let them tell you that they're all the same.



The sea was red and the sky was grey,

Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today.

The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake As the children of the sun began to awake.



Seems that the wrath of the Gods

Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow;

I think I might be sinking.

Throw me a line if I reach it in time

I'll meet you up there where the path

Runs straight and high.



To find a queen without a king;

They say she plays guitar and cries and sings.

La la la la

Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn

Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born. Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,

Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.

 



When The Levee Breaks
 

If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break,

If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break, When The Levee Breaks I'll have no place to stay. 

Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan, Lord, mean old levee taught me to weep and moan, 

Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home, Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well.



Don't it make you feel bad

When you're tryin' to find your way home,

You don't know which way to go?

If you're goin' down South

They go no work to do,

If you don't know about Chicago.



Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good, Now, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good, When the 

levee breaks, mama, you got to move.



All last night sat on the levee and moaned,

All last night sat on the levee and moaned, Thinkin' 'bout me baby and my happy home. 

Going, go'n' to Chicago,

Go'n' to Chicago,

Sorry but I can't take you.

Going down, going down now, going down.











HOUSES OF THE HOLY 

(Atlantic March 28, 1973)



The Song Remains The Same

I had a dream

oh, yeah

crazy dream, uh-huh.

Anything I wanted to know

Any place I needed to go



Hear my song

Yeah...People don't you listen now?  Sing along! Oh, You don't know what you're missing now. Any 

little song that you know

Everything that's small has to grow. And it has to grow!

Push push, yeah!



California sunlight, sweet Calcutta rain

Honolulu starbright--the song remains the same.  ooh! ooh! Here we go!



Honolulu now...

Sing out Hare Hare, dance the Hoochie Koo.

City lights are oh so bright, as we go sliding sliding

sliding through.



Oh!





The Rain Song
 

This is the springtime of my loving- the second season I am to know

You are the sunlight in my growing- so little warmth I've felt before. It 

isn't hard to feel me glowing- I watched the fire that grew so low. 

It is the summer of my smiles- flee from me Keepers of the Gloom. 

Speak to me only with your eyes

it is to you I give this tune. Ain't so hard to recognise-

these things are clear to all from time to time.  Ooooh...



Talk Talk

I've felt the coldness of my winter I never thought it would ever go

I cursed the gloom that set upon us... 

But I know that I love you so

but I know that I love you so.



These are the seasons of emotion And like the winds they rise and fall This 

is the wonder of devotion-

I see the torch we all must hold. This is the mystery of the quotient- Upon 

us all a little rain

must fall.

Just a little rain?

ooooh, yeah yeah yeah!





Over The Hills And Far Away
 

Hey lady--you got the love I need

Maybe more than enough.

Oh Darling... walk a while with me

 

Ooh, you've got so much...



Many times I loved

Many times been bitten

Many times I've gazed

Along the open road.



Many times I've lied

Many times I've listened

Many times I've wondered

How much there is to know.



Many dreams come true

And some have silver linings

I live for my dream

And a pocketful of gold.



Mellow is the man

Who knows what he's been missing

Many many men

Can't see the open road.



Many is a word

That only leaves you guessing

Guessing 'bout a thing

You really ought to know, ooh!

You really ought to know

I really ought to know!

oooh, You know I should, you know I should, you know I should...

Dancing Days

Dancing days are here again

As the summer evenings grow

I got my flower, I got my power

I got a woman who knows.



CHORUS



I said it's alright

You know it's alright

I guess it's all in my heart



You'll be my only, my one and only Is that the way it should start? 

Crazy ways are evident

In the way that you're wearing your clothes Suppin' boze is precedent

As the evening starts to glow.



CHORUS



I told your mamma I'd get you home

But I didn't tell her I had no car

I saw a lion he was standing alone

With a tadpole in a jar.



CHORUS



Dancing days are here again

As the summer evening grows

You are my flower, you are my power

You are my woman who knows.



CHORUS





D'yer Mak'er
 

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You don't have to go oh oh oh oh oh Baby please don't go.



Ay ay ay ay ay ay

All those tears I cry ay ay ay ay ay All those tears I cry ay ay ay ay ay Baby 

please don't go.



CHORUS



When I read the letter you wrote

it made me mad mad mad

When I read the news that it brought me It made me sad sad sad.

But I still love you so

I can't let you go

I love you- ooh baby I love you.



Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Every breath I take oh oh oh oh oh Every move I make oh oh oh oh oh

Baby please don't go.

(Baby please don't go)



(Whatever happened to Rosie and the Originals?)

 



No Quarter
 

Close the door, put out the light. 

No,they won't be home tonight. 

The snow falls hard and don't you know? The winds of Thor are blowing cold. They're 

wearing steel that's bright and true They carry news that must get through, oooh  They choose 

the path where no-one goes.  

They hold no quarter. 

They ask no quarter. 



Walking side by side with death

The devil mocks their every step 

The snow drives back the foot that's slow The dogs of doom are howling more 

They carry news that must get through To build a dream for me and you 

 

They choose the path where no-one goes.  

They hold no quarter. 

They ask no quarter. 

 

The pain, the pain without quarter. They ask no quarter.

Yeah!  Without quarter, quarter, yeah! The dogs of doom are howling more! 

I hear the dogs of doom are howling more! 

 



The Ocean

(We've done four already but now we're steady and then they went : One, two, three, four)



Singing in the sunshine, laughing in the rain

Hitting on the moonshine, rocking in the grain

Ain't no time to pack my bag, my foots outside the door Got a date, I can't be late, for the high hopes hailla ball. 'got a hell 

hound on my t(r)ail'

'cause it's hell I'm headed for'

(No one really knows which one it is)



Uh-huh!  oh oh yeah!



Singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean's roar

Play for free, play for me and play a whole lot more, more! Singing 'bout good things and the sun that lights the day 

I used to sing on the mountains, then the ocean lost it's way. I've been there (I don't know?)

Oh oh yeah!



Oh, yeah!



na na na..., La la la...



Sitting round singing songs til the night turns into day Used to sing on the mountains but the mountains washed away Now I'm 

singing all my songs to the girl who won my heart She is only three years old and it's a real fine way to start. Oh yeah!



It sure is fine!

Blow my mind!

(He's saying something here)

Yeah yeah!



Do wop a diddly diddly........ 

Oh, so good!

The Rover
 

I've been to London, seen seven wonders

I know to trip is just to fall

I used to rock it, sometimes I'd roll it

I always knew what it was for

There can be no denyin'

new plague on the land 

If we could just join hands

If we could just join hands

If we could just join



Traversed the planet when heaven sent me I	saw the kings who rule them all

Still by the firelight and purple moonlight I	hear the 'rested rivers call

And the wind is cryin'

From a love that won't grow cold

My lover, she is lyin'

On the dark side of the globe

Kashmir
 

Whoa, let the sun beat down upon my face

And stars to fill my dream

I am a traveler of both time and space

To be where I have been

T' sit with elders of the gentle race

This world has seldom seen

Th' talk of days for which they sit and wait

All will be revealed



Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace

Whose sounds caress my ear

But not a word I heard could I relate

The story was quite clear

Whoa-hoh, whoa-wa-oh



Oooh, oh baby, I been flyin'

Lord, yeah, mama, there ain't no denyin'

Oh, oooh yes, I've been flying 

Mama, mama, ain't no denyin', no denyin'



Oh, all I see turns to brown

As the sun burns the ground

And my eyes fill with sand

As I scan this wasted land

Tryin' to find, tryin' to find where I beeeeeuhoaoh 

Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace

Like thoughts inside a dream

Heed the path that led me to that place

Yellow desert stream

My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon

Will return again

Sure as the dust that floats b'hind you

When movin' through Kashmir 



Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails Across the sea of years

With no provision but an open face

'Long the straits of fear

Whaoh, whaoh

Whaoh-oh, oh



Ohhhh



Well, when I want, when I'm on my way, yeah

When I see, when I see the way, you stay-yeah



Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, yes Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, so down 

Ooh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there 

Oh, oh, come on, come on

Oh, let me take you there

Let me take you there

Whoo-ooh, yeah-yeah, whoo-ooh, yeah-yeah, let me take you

   



In The Light
  

And if you feel that you can't go on

Down By The Seaside
  

Down by the seaside

See the boats go sailin'

Can the people hear, oh

What the little fish are sayin'



Oh, oh, the people turned away

Oh, the people turned away



Down in the city streets

See all the folk go racin', racin'

No time left, no-no

To pass the time of day



Hey, hey, yeah, the people turned away The people turned away

So far away, so far away



See how they run, see how they run, see how they run, see how they run Run-run, run-run, run-run



Do you still do the twist

Do you find you remember things that well

I wanna tell you

Some folk twistin' every day

Singin' 'bout their progress

Knowin' where they're goin'

Yeah, yeah

And show your love for Lady Nature And she will come back again

The people turned away



Don't they know that they're goin'





Ten Years Gone
  

Then as it was, then again it will be

An' though the course may change sometimes

Rivers always reach the sea



Blind stars of fortune

Each have several rays

On the wings maybe

Down in birds of prey

Kind of makes me feel sometimes

Didn't have to grow

But as the eagle leaves the nest

It got so far to go



Changes fill my time

Baby, that's alright with me

In the midst I think of you

And how it used to be



Did you ever really need somebody

And really need 'em bad

Did you ever really want somebody

The best love you ever had

Do you ever remember me, baby

Did it feel so good

'Cause it was just the first time

And you knew you would



Through the eyes an' I sparkle Senses growing keen 

Taste your love along the way

See your feathers preen

Kind of makes makes me feel sometimes Didn't have to grow

We are eagles of one nest

The nest is in our soul



Vixen in my dreams, with great surprise to me

Never thought I'd see your face the way it used to be Oh darlin', oh darlin'



Ohh



Oh darlin'

Oh, yeah

Holdin' on, everday

I'm never

PRESENCE

(Swan Song March 31, 1976)



Achilles Last Stand

It was an April morning

when they told us we should go

As I turned to you

you smiled at me

how could we say no



Woah the fun to have

to live the dreams we always had

woah the songs to sing

when we at last return again



sending off a glancing kiss

to those who claim they know

below the streets the seaman hears

the devil's in his hole



Oh to sail away

to sandy lands and other days

oh to touch the dream

hides inside and never seen, yeah



Into the sun the south the north

lies the first of hope

the shackles of commitment fell



in pieces on the ground



Oh to ride the wind

to tread the air above the din

oh to laugh aloud

dancing high above the crowd



To seek the man whose pointing hand

the giant step unfolds

With guidance from the curving path

that churns up into stone



If one bell should ring

in celebration for a king

so fast the heart should beat

as proud the head with heavy feet, yeah 

(Guitar Solo)

Days went by when you and I

made an eternal summers glow

as far away and distant

a mutual time to grow



Oh the sweet refrain

soothes the soul and calms the pain

Oh Albion remains, sleeping now to rise again



Wandering upon the rings

what place to rest the search

the mighty arms of Atlas

hold the heavens from the earth



the mighty arms of Atlas

hold the heavens from the earth

from the eeeeaaaarrrrth

ooooooooooooooh



I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way  (2x) I used to know the way



ooooooooaaaaaoooooooooooh





Oh the mighty arms of Atlas

hold the heavens from the earth

uuuuh ooooh aaaaaauuuuuhhhhoooohhhhhaaaaaaaahhh

 



For Your Life
 

You said I was the only, oh, oh

With my lemon in your hand

Exhibition is your habit

Emotions second hand, oh, oh

Had to pull away to save me

Maybe next time around

And she said, don't you wannit?

Don't you want coca coca cocaine? Hadn't planned to, could not stand to 

Try it, friend, yeah, na, na, yeah Whoo ooh ooh ooh



Heard a cry for mercy

In the city of the damned

Oh oh babe, damned

Impossible to go lower

The next stop's on the ground

Oh, low on the ground

You want to know is it quite over To fame and tears and losing hair 

And I said didn't mean to... did not mean to f-fail You didn't plan it, you overran it...yeeeeeeah! 

You wanna do it, you wanna

You wanna do it when you wanna

You wanna do it, do it when you wanna



When you blow it, babe

You got to blow it right

Oh baby, if you fake it, mama

Baby, fake with all your might

When you fake it, mama

Please fake it right



For yourself, babe, will you fake it? You're fakin' it for your life

For your life

For your life

For your life



Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it Do it when you wanna

Do it, do it, do it

Do it when you wanna



Oh, I can have you, baby

But I don't know what to do, yeah Sometime, baby, nothin' I could do 

Wanna find myself a crystal

Payin' through the nose



And when they couldn't resist you I said "Just go with the flow" 

And now your stage is empty

and now the curtain, baby please. Fold up your show



Hadn't planned to

Could not stand to

(fryin!)

Hadn't planned it

I over ran in

(fryin!)

For your life

For your life





Royal Orleans
 

One town love

You better take care how you use it

Try to make it last all night

And if you take your pick

Be careful how you choose it

Sometimes its hard to feel it bite Feel it bite



A man I know, went down to Louisiana Had himself a bad, bad fight

And when the sun peeks through John Cameron he sees (sandy???)

He kissed the whiskers and left and right Whiskers!



Now, now, now

A fight subsides

Out at a hotel in the quarter

A friendship took a bash tonight

Now love gets hot

Look far for a sea with water

Grew whiskers sittin' there through the night 

Whiskers!



Down on Bourbon street

You know it's right

You can see my friend 

When they run around us in the night Most everywhere

Until the closet's bare

Run for the razor, fun

Doin' up my hair



New Orleans queens

Sure know how to schmooz it

Maybe for some that seems alright When I step out

I'm struck down with my sugar

She wears my cloak like fairy white Now, one town love

Take care how you use it

And try to make it last all night Take your pick

Be careful how you choose it Sometimes it's hard to feel it bite.

Hots On For Nowhere
 

I was burned in the heat of the moment,

oh! it could've been the heat of the day When I learned how my time had been wasted, 

Dear fellows I turned away

Now I've got friends who will give me their shoulder, When I should happen to fall

Time and his bride growing older

I've got friends who will give me fuck all 

La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah

La, la, la, la, la, na, na, baby

La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah

La, la, la, la, la, la



Corner of Bleeker and nowhere

In the land of not quite day

A shiver runs down my backbone Face in the mirror turns grey

So, I looked 'round for a hitch from a reindeer Said you oughtta find him out in the day

I turned 'round to look for the snowman To my surprise he'd melted away, yeah 

La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah

La, la, la, la, la, na, na, baby

La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah

La, la, la, la, la, la



The moon and the stars out of order As the tide tends to ebb and sway

The sun in my soul's sinking lower While the hope in my hands turns to clay I 

don't ask that my feet fall on clover I don't roam at opportunity's door

Why don't you ask my advice, take it slower Then your story'd be your finest reward 

La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah

La, la, la, la, la, na, na, baby

La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah

La, la, la, la, la, la



Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh



[guitar solo]



Lost on the path to attainment

Search in the eyes of the wise

When I bled from the heart of the matter I started bleeding without a disguise 

Now everything's finally happened

Now and then you've got to take time to pause

When you're down on the ground, don't be messin' around Or you'll land in a boat without oars



La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah

La, la, la, la, la, na, na, baby

La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah

La, la, la, la, la, la



Hey babe, Hey babe, Hey babe,

I lost my way.



Hey babe, Hey babe,

I really, really did now.



Hey babe, Hey babe,

I don't know where I'm gonna find it.



Hey babe, Hey babe,

Do you wanna know,

Do you really, really, wanna help me, yeah? 

Let me tell you now, babe

Let me tell you

That is fells so good that it must be right 

Now my babe,

That is fells so good that it must be right 

Now my babe,

IN THROUGH THE OUT DOOR

(Swan Song August 15, 1979)



In the Evening

In the evening 

When the day is done

I'm looking for my woman

Oh, but the girl don't come

So don't let her

Play you for a fool

She don't show no pity baby

No no, she don't make no rules 

Oh, oh, I need your love, 

I need your love

Oh, I need your love 

I just got to have / I've got pain 

So don't you let her

Oh, get under your skin

It's only bad luck and trouble >From the day that you begin

I hear you crying in the darkness Don't ask nobody's help

Ain't no pockets dull of mercy baby  Cause you can only blame yourself

 

Oh it's simple

All the pain that you go through 

You can turn away from fortune, fortune Cause that's all that's left to you It's 

lonely at the bottom

Man, it's dizzy at the top

But if you're standing in the middle Ain't no way you're gonna stop  

Oh whatever what your days may bring No use hiding in a corner

Cause that won't change a thing

If you're dancing in the doldrums

One day soon, it's got to stop, it's got to stop

When you're the master of the off-chance

Well, you don't expect alot





South Bound Saurez

Baby, when you walk that sweet walk

Oh, you walk it good, yes you walk it good

Baby, when you talk that sweet talk

Oh, it sounds so good, oh so good



With a little bit of concentration

And a little bit of hold my hand

And a little bit of raving madness

You know it makes me feel, baby

Both my feet are back on the ground



And when the rythm takes me

It feels so good, oh so good

Maybe if it keeps a-shaking

It will do you good, oh so much good



With a little bit of stop-a-shakin' shakin' And a little bit of fly right down

And a little bit of sweet con carne It makes me feel, makes me feel

I got my feet on the ground



Ooh now baby, when you move it makes me Really feel so good, oh so good

And I'm so glad, so glad, so glad

And I'm good, oh, ep haddeso good 



With a little bit of concentration And a little bit of helping hand And a 

little bit of saving madness You know it makes me feel, baby I'm back 

on the ground





Fool In The Rain
 

Oh, baby

Well there's a light in your eye that keeps shining

Like a star that can't wait for the night

I hate to think I've been blinded baby

Why can't I see you tonight?



And the warmth of your smile starts a burning And the thrill of your touch gives me fright 

And I'm shaking so much, really yearning Why can't you show up, make it all right? Yeah. 

It's all right.



And if you promised you'd love so completely and you said you would always be true

You swore that you would never leave me baby What ever happened to you?



And you thought it was only ....

As you wish all your dreams would come true--Hey It ain't the first time believe me baby

I'm standin here feeling blue

Yeah I'm blue



Now I will stand in the rain on the corner I'll watch the people go shuffling downtown Another ten 

minutes no longer

And then I'm turning around



The clock on the wall's moving slower

My heart it sinks to the ground

And the storm that I thought would blow over Clouds the light of the love that I found 

Now my body is starting to quiver

And the palms of my hands getting wet

I've got no reason to doubt you baby It's all a terrible mess



I'll run in the rain till I'm breathless When I'm breathless I'll run till I drop The 

thoughts of a fool's kind of careless I'm just a fool waiting on the wrong block Light of 

the love that I found





Hot Dog
 

Well I just got into town today 

To find my girl who's gone away

She took the Greyhound at the General Store I searched myself I searched the town 

When I finaly did sat down

I find myself no wiser than before



She said we couldn't do no wrong

No other love could be so strong

She locked up my heart in her bottom drawer

Now she took my heart she took my keys

From in my old blue dungarees

And I'll never go to Texas anymore



Now my baby's gone I don't know what to do

She took my love and walked right out the door

And if I ever find that girl I know one thing for sure I'm gonna give her something like she never had before 

I took her love at seventen

A little late these days it seems

But they said heaven's well worth waiting for

I took her word I took it all

Beneath the sign that said U-haul

She left angels hanging round for more  

I thought I had it all sewn up

Our love, a plot, a pick-up truck

But folks said she was after something more

I never did quite understand

All that talk about rockin' bands

But they just rolled my doll right out the door

 



Carouselambra
 

Sisters of the way-side bide their time in quiet peace, Await their place within the ring of calm;

Still stand to turn in seconds of release, Await the call they know may never come. 

In times of lightness, no intruder dared upon

To jeopardize the course, upset the run;

And all was joy and hands were raised toward the sun As love in the halls of plenty overrun.



Still in their bliss unchallenged mighty feast, Unending dances shadowed on the day.

Within their walls, their daunting formless keep, Preserved their joy and kept their doubts at bay. Faceless 

legions stood in readiness to weep,

Just turn a coin, bring order to the fray;

And ev'rything is soon no sooner thought than deed, But no one seemed to question anyway.



How keen the hunter's eye prevails upon the land

To seek the unsuspecting and the weak;

And powerless the fabled sat, too smug to lift a hand Toward the foe that threatened from the deep.

Who cares to dry the cheeks of those who saddened stand Adrift upon a sea of futile speech?

...

... reach



Singin' ...



Where was your word, where did you go?

Where was your helping, where was your bow? Bow.



Dull is the armour, cold is the day.

Hard was the journey, dark was the way. Way.



I heard the word; I couldn't stay. Oh.

I couldn't stand it another day, another day-ay, another day, another day.



Touched by the timely coming,  Roused from the keeper's sleep, 

Release the grip, throw down the key. 

Held now within the knowing, 

Rest now within the peace.

Take of the fruit, but guard the seed. 

Held now within the knowing, 

Rest now within the beat.

Take of the fruit, but guard the seed...





All My Love

Should I fall out of love, my fire in the night

To chase a feather in the wind

Within the glow that weaves a cloak of delight There moves a thread that has no end.



For many hours and days that pass ever soon

the tides have caused the flame to dim

At last the arm is straight, the hand to the loom Is this to end or just begin?



All of my love, all of my love, oh,

All of my love to you, now.

All of my love, all of my love,

All of my love to you, now.



The cup is raised, the toast is made yet again

one voice is clear above the din

Proud Aryan one word, my will to sustain

For me, the cloth once more to spin 



Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sews time his is the force that lies within

Ours is the fire, all the warmth we can find

He is a feather in the wind





I'm Gonna Crawl
 

Oh she's my baby

Let me tell you why

Hey, she drives me crazy

She's the apple of my eye

Cause she is my girl

And she can never do wrong

If I dream too much at night

Somebody please bring me down



Hey, I love that little lady

I got to be her fool

Ain't no other like my baby

I can break the golden rule

Cause I get down on my knees

Oh, I pray that love won't die

And if I always try to please

I don't know the reason why, yeah



If she would come back

Only stay with me

Every little bit of my love, etc.

I give to you girl



I don't have to go by plane

I ain't gotto go by car

I don't care just where my darling is

People I just don't care how far

I'm gonna crawl

I don't care if I got to go back home

I don't care what I got to stand to get you

I'm gonna crawl

I'm gonna move the car, baby

She give me good lovin

Yes I love her, I guess I love her

I wanna crawl

Poor Tom
 

Here's a tale of Tom

Who worked the rivers run

His wife would cook his meat

But he wouldn't care to eat



Poor Tom, Seventh Son, Always knew what's goin on 

Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom

There ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom 

Worked for thirty years

Sharin' hopes and fears

Dreamin' of the day

He could turn and say



Poor Tom, work's gone, lazin' out in the noonday sun 

Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom

Ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom



His wife was Ellie May

One of many games she played

When Tom was out of town

She couldn't keep her dress down



Poor Tom, Seventh Son, always knew what's goin on 

Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom

Ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom 

And so it was one day

That Tom caught Ellie May





Tom took a gun in his hand

And stopped all the runnin' around



Poor Tom, Seventh Son, gotta die for what you've done 

All those years of work are thrown away

To ease your mind is that all you can say?



But what about that grandson on your knee?

And railroad song is ... he could be



Ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom

Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom Ain't a thing that you can hide from 

Tom 

There ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom



Keep-a Truckin'

Baby Come On Home

(From Box Set II)

There was a time

I used to call you on my very own

We were so happy woman

Talkin' for hours and hours on the telephone

Leavin' me all by myself

All alone, to cry every night

Sweet little girl

(ooh yeah, been gone so long)

Who's gonna feel all of my... cares



So I met a sweet little girl

Just about as nice as she could be, oh

But she turned around, and did the same thing again to me, woohoo...

Hey Hey What Can I Do

(Released November 1970 

as the B-Side of Immigrant Song)
  

Wanna tell you 'bout the girl I love

My she looks so fine

She's the only one that I been dreamin' of

Maybe someday she will be all mine

I wanna tell her that I love her so

I thrill with her every touch

I need to tell her she's the only one I really love 

I got a woman, wanna ball all day

I got a woman, she won't be true, no

I got a woman, stay drunk all the time

I said I got a little woman and she won't be true 

Sunday morning when we go down to church

See the menfolk standin' in line

I said they come to pray to the Lord

With my little girl, looks so fine

In the evening when the sun is sinkin' low Everybody's with the one they love

I walk the town

Keep a-searchin' all around:

Lookin' for my street corner girl 

I got a woman, wanna ball all day

I got a woman, she won't be true, no no I got a woman, stay drunk all the time 

I said I got a little woman and she won't be true 

In the bars, with the men who play guitars Singin', drinkin' and rememberin' the times



My little lover does a midnight shift

She followed around all the time

I guess there's just one thing a-left for me to do Gonna pack my bags and move on my way

Cause I got a worried mind

Sharin' what I thought was mine

Gonna leave her where the guitars play



I got a woman, she won't be true, no no 

I got a woman, wanna ball all day

I got a woman, stay drunk all the time

I got a little woman and she won't be true



(hey hey what can I do)



I said she won't be true



(Hey Hey, What can I say?)



Hey hey, what can I do

I got a woman, she won't be true

Lo-o-ord, hear what I say

I got a woman, wanna ball all day

Asked sweet mama

If you don't keep it hid"



Well I know my baby

Spoken: Why don't you come into my kitchen



She's a kindhearted lady



She studies evil all the time

She's a kindhearted woman

She studies evil all the time



Squeeze my lemon

Til the juice runs down my leg

Squeeze it so hard

I'll fall right out of bed

Squeeze my lemon

'Til the juice runs down my leg



Spoken: I wonder if you know what I'm talkin' about 

Oh, but the way that you squeeze it girl

I swear I'm gonna fall right out of bed



Ah, she's a good rider

Hey yeah

She's my kindhearted lady

I'm gonna take my rider by my side

I said her front teeth are lined with gold

She's gotta mortgage on my body

Gotta lien on my soul

She's my brownskin sugar plum
