Oh yeah,it's been a long time since I rock and roll
It's been a long time since I did the stroll
Ooh baby,let me get back,let me get back
Let me get back
Leave me where I came from
Refrain: It's been a long time,been a long time
A lonely,lonely,lonely
Lonely,lonely time (yes,it has)
It's been a while since I've walked in the moon light
Making vows it just don't work right
Ooh baby,open your arms
Open your arms,open your arms
Baby,let a little love in your life
Refrain
It's been a while since I took your love
I can't stand the tears of a life with no love
Ooh baby,carry me back,carry me back
Carry me back,baby,where I came from
Refrain
Sure has,ooh yeah,ooh yeah.....
It's been a long time,been a long time
A lonely,lonely,lonely,lonely,lonely time
CELEBRATION DAY
Her face is cracked from smilin'
All the tears that she's been hidin'
And she wonders pretty soon
Everybody's gonna know
And her voice is sore from shoutin'
To the winners who are losin'
And she wonders what the dance
I feel so happy,I don't know
Refrain: My,my,my,I'm so happy
I'm gonna join the band
And we're gonna sing and dance in celebration
Oh we're the promised land
She'll give herself a new ways to remember all she knew me
She wonders what it's all about
Till they break down her door
Her name is Brown or White or Black
You know her very well
You hear her cries of mercy,it's like a silver bell
Refrain
If you should lose this nation and a new destination
But the price you pay to go there is at least all that and more
If you walk you're gonna get there
Though it takes a little longer and when you see it in the distance
You will raise your hands and moan
Oh yeah,you will moan,you will moan
Hear me,you will moan,oh yeah,it's all right
ROBERT PLANT: Good evening! Thank you.In between last time
we came and this time we managed to get an album

thing that we decided is on that title,this is
a thing called...
THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME
I had a dream,ooh yeah,crazy dream,oh
Anything I wanted to know
Any place I needed to go
Hear my song,people,won't you listen now,sing along
You don't know what you're missin',now
Any little song that you know
Everything that's small has to grow
And it always grows,push,pushin',oh
California sunlight,sweet Calcutta rain
Honolulu starbright,the song remaines the same
Ooh yeah,ooh yeah,ooh yeah,ooh yeah
Come on,come on,come on,come on
Do it,do it,do it,do it
Push,push,push,oh dig it,baby,keep on
Sing out Hare Hare,dance the Hoochie Koo
City lights,oh so bright,as we go sliding
Sliding,sliding,gliding,sliding
Gliding,gliding,gliding,gliding
Oh here we go,come on,push,push.....
RAIN SONG
It is the springtime of my loving
The second season I'm to know
You are the sunlight in my growing
So little warmth I felt before
Oh it isn't hard to feel me glowing
I watched the fire that grew so low,oh oh oh
It is the summer of my smiles
Flee from me,Keepers of the Gloom
Speak to me only with your eyes,oh
It is to you I give this tune
It isn't hard to recognise,oh
These things are clear to all from time to time,oh
Talk,talk to me,talk to me
I felt,I felt the coldness of my winter,oh yeah
I never thouthg it would ever go
I cursed the gloom that set upon us,upon us
But I know that I love you so
Oh yeah,it feels good,feels good now
But I know that I love you so
Oh yeah,it feels good,feels good now
But I know that I love you so
These are the seasons of emotion
And like the wind they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion
I see the torch we all must hold
And people,this is the mystery of the quotient
Upon us all,oh a little rain must fall
Just just just just a little rain
Oh I know
II
DAZED AND CONFUSED
I've been dazed and confused so long,it's not true
I wanted a woman,never bargained for you
Now lots of people talkin' pretty few of them I know
Soul of a woman was created below,that's right
You're the one,you're the one
Oh you bothered and took me,lord
I swear there ain't no need cryin'
The way that you push.....push me,darlin'
I can't take too much of that
So come on,come on,come on
Oh darlin',show me the way
I want to make love to you,little girl
Twenty five.....oh
There you run and abuse,tellin' all of you lies
I try to quit you,baby,baby,baby,but you keep me mesmerized
So come on,come on,come on,say what you will
I still want to make love to you,little girl
Twenty five.....
That's all I want,that's what I need
If you're goin' to San Francisco,
Be sure to wear some flowes in your hair
If you're goin' to San Francisco,
You're gonna meet a lot of gentle people there
Oh everywhere,everywhere,everywhere,oh I know,I know,I know.....
Come on.....Push push push.....oh oh
Oh oh oh.....oh now push push
Stop it,stop it,do it,do it,do it,do it
Oh oh oh oh.....push,I did,I did,I did
Oh everybody's been too busy knowin'
Assumin' that I been blind
The way that you push me,darlin'
You know I couldn't take too much of that
So come on,come on,come on,show me the way
I wanna make love to you,little girl
Twenty five.....
My my my my.....
Oh suck it,yeah,oh

NO QUARTER
Close the door,put out the light
You know they won't be home tonight,oh no
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
Oh oh oh oh
To build a dream for me and you,oh
They choose a path where no one goes
They hold no quarter
Oh they ask,they ask no quarter,no quarter
Walking side by side with death
The devil mocks their every step
The snow drives back the foot that's slow
The doogs of doom are howling more
They carry news that must get through
To build a dream for me and you
Oh yes they do
They choose a path where no one goes
They hold no quarter
They ask,they ask,they ask
They ask no quarter
Oh what they see me without quarter
Oh the pain,the pain without quarter
Ooh yeah,ooh yeah,ooh yeah
Oh give them quarter,quarter,quarter
Oh give them
PLANT: John Paul Jones,the piano!
...This is a song of hope...
STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows
If the stars are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
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 song bird that sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
And I think you can see that
And it makes me wonder,sure does
Oh yes sir
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 stand looking,oh oh oh oh.....
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 forest will echo with laughter
Baby,oh just give it to me
Give it to me,give it to me,sugar,sugar
But I got some good news,listen
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 path you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on
I hope so,oh baby,baby
Darlin' thank you,darlin' thank you
Darlin' thank you,darlin' thank you
Wait a minute,wait a minute
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,oh
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 everything still turns to gold,yeah
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all is one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll,not to roll
Don't make me roll
And she's buying a stairway to heaven,oh

IMMIGRANT SONG
J.Page - R.Plant
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 horde, singing and crying:
Valhalla, I'm coming.
On we sweep with threshing oar,
Our only goal will be the western shore. 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 oar,
Our only goal will be the western shore.
So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins,
For peace and the trust can win the day despite all your losing.
FRIENDS
J.Page - R.Plant
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 a love, you ain't lonely",
Now she's gone and left me only looking for what I knew.
Mum 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 grives you,
Some day you'll need someone like they do
Looking for what you knew.
SINCE I'VE BEEN LOVING YOU
J.Page - R.Plant - J.P.Jones
Working from seven to eleven ev'ry night,
It really makes my life a drag, I don't think that's right
I've really, really been the best of fools
I did what I could '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,
It kinda makes my life a drag.
Lord you know that ain't right
Since I've Been Loving You,
I'm about to lose my worrid mind.
Sad 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.
Do you remember mama when I knocked up on your door?
I said you have the nerve to tell me
You didn't want me no more,
Open my front door hearing myback 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 maes my life a drag, a drag, a 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.
OUT ON THE TILES
J.Page - R.Plant - J.Bonham
As I walk down the highway all I do is sing this song
And the train that passes 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 and I live from day to day
A ray of sunshine melts the clouds 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.
All I need from you is your love,
All you got to give to me is all your love,
All I need from you is your love,
All you got to give to me is all your love.
GALLOWS POLE

TANGERINE
J. Page
Measuring a summer's day
I only find it slips away to the hours
They bring me pain
Tangerine,tangerine,
Living reflection from a dream.
I was her love, she was my queen
A 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.
THAT'S THE WAY
J.Page - R.Plant
I don't know how I'm gonna tellyou
I can't pay with you no more.
I don't know how I'm gonna do what mama told me
My friend by next door
I can't believe what people saying
You're gonna let your hair down.
I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long
You're on 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're found another game to play
What did mama say to me
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,yeah, yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh.
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?
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 your ears have turned away
But now's the time to look again at what you see
Is that the way it ought to stay?
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,yeah, yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh.

Ah could 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
Ah we walk down a country lane
I'll be singigng a song, hear me calling your name
Hear the wind whisper in the trees, telling Mother Nature
'bout you and me.
Well if the sun shines so bright or 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?
Ah we walk down a country lane
I'll be singigng a song, hear me calling your name
Hear the wind whisper in the trees, telling Mother Nature
'bout you and me.
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'm sure it's a friendship so pure,
Angels singing all around my door so fine
Yeah ain't but one thing to do
Spend my nat'ral live 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.

Her face is cracked from smiling,
All the fears that she's been hiding
And it seems that pretty soon
Everybody's gonna know
And her voice is sore from shooting,
Cheering winners who are losing,
And she worries if their days are few
And soon they'll have to moan.
My, my, my, I'm so happy,
I'm gonna join the band,
We are gonna dance and sing and 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.
My, my, my, I'm so happy,
I'm gonna join the band,
We are gonna dance and sing and celebration
We are in the promised land.
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.

Ah could 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
Ah we walk down a country lane
I'll be singigng a song, hear me calling your name
Hear the wind whisper in the trees, telling Mother Nature
'bout you and me.
Well if the sun shines so bright or 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?
Ah we walk down a country lane
I'll be singigng a song, hear me calling your name
Hear the wind whisper in the trees, telling Mother Nature
'bout you and me.
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'm sure it's a friendship so pure,
Angels singing all around my door so fine
Yeah ain't but one thing to do
Spend my nat'ral live 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.

I
ROCK AND ROLL
Oh yeah,it's been a long time since I rock and roll
It's been a long time since I did the stroll
Ooh baby,let me get back,let me get back
Let me get back
Leave me where I came from
Refrain: It's been a long time,been a long time
A lonely,lonely,lonely
Lonely,lonely time (yes,it has)
It's been a while since I've walked in the moon light
Making vows it just don't work right
Ooh baby,open your arms
Open your arms,open your arms
Baby,let a little love in your life
Refrain
It's been a while since I took your love
I can't stand the tears of a life with no love
Ooh baby,carry me back,carry me back
Carry me back,baby,where I came from
Refrain
Sure has,ooh yeah,ooh yeah.....
It's been a long time,been a long time
A lonely,lonely,lonely,lonely,lonely time
CELEBRATION DAY
Her face is cracked from smilin'
All the tears that she's been hidin'
And she wonders pretty soon
Everybody's gonna know
And her voice is sore from shoutin'
To the winners who are losin'
And she wonders what the dance
I feel so happy,I don't know
Refrain: My,my,my,I'm so happy
I'm gonna join the band
And we're gonna sing and dance in celebration
Oh we're the promised land
She'll give herself a new ways to remember all she knew me
She wonders what it's all about
Till they break down her door
Her name is Brown or White or Black
You know her very well
You hear her cries of mercy,it's like a silver bell
Refrain
If you should lose this nation and a new destination
But the price you pay to go there is at least all that and more
If you walk you're gonna get there
Though it takes a little longer and when you see it
in the distance
You will raise your hands and moan
Oh yeah,you will moan,you will moan
Hear me,you will moan,oh yeah,it's all right
ROBERT PLANT: Good evening! Thank you. In between last time
we came and this time we managed to get an album

THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME
I had a dream,ooh yeah,crazy dream,oh
Anything I wanted to know
Any place I needed to go
Hear my song,people,won't you listen now,sing along
You don't know what you're missin',now
Any little song that you know
Everything that's small has to grow
And it always grows,push,pushin',oh
California sunlight,sweet Calcutta rain
Honolulu starbright,the song remaines the same
Ooh yeah,ooh yeah,ooh yeah,ooh yeah
Come on,come on,come on,come on
Do it,do it,do it,do it
Push,push,push,oh dig it,baby,keep on
Sing out Hare Hare,dance the Hoochie Koo
City lights,oh so bright,as we go sliding
Sliding,sliding,gliding,sliding
Gliding,gliding,gliding,gliding
Oh here we go,come on,push,push.....
RAIN SONG
It is the springtime of my loving
The second season I'm to know
You are the sunlight in my growing
So little warmth I felt before
Oh it isn't hard to feel me glowing
I watched the fire that grew so low,oh oh oh
It is the summer of my smiles
Flee from me,Keepers of the Gloom
Speak to me only with your eyes,oh
It is to you I give this tune
It isn't hard to recognise,oh
These things are clear to all from time to time,oh
Talk,talk to me,talk to me
I felt,I felt the coldness of my winter,oh yeah
I never thouthg it would ever go
I cursed the gloom that set upon us,upon us
But I know that I love you so
Oh yeah,it feels good,feels good now
But I know that I love you so
Oh yeah,it feels good,feels good now
But I know that I love you so
These are the seasons of emotion
And like the wind they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion
I see the torch we all must hold
And people,this is the mystery of the quotient
Upon us all,oh a little rain must fall
Just just just just a little rain
Oh I know
II
DAZED AND CONFUSED
I've been dazed and confused so long,it's not true
I wanted a woman,never bargained for you
Now lots of people talkin' pretty few of them I know
Soul of a woman was created below,that's right
You're the one,you're the one
Oh you bothered and took me,lord
I swear there ain't no need cryin'
The way that you push.....push me,darlin'
I can't take too much of that
So come on,come on,come on
Oh darlin',show me the way
I want to make love to you,little girl
Twenty five.....oh
There you run and abuse,tellin' all of you lies
I try to quit you,baby,baby,baby,but you keep me mesmerized
So come on,come on,come on,say what you will
I still want to make love to you,little girl
Twenty five.....
That's all I want,that's what I need
If you're goin' to San Francisco,
Be sure to wear some flowes in your hair
If you're goin' to San Francisco,
You're gonna meet a lot of gentle people there
Oh everywhere,everywhere,everywhere,oh I know,I know,I know...
Come on.....Push push push.....oh oh
Oh oh oh.....oh now push push
Stop it,stop it,do it,do it,do it,do it
Oh oh oh oh.....push,I did,I did,I did
Oh everybody's been too busy knowin'
Assumin' that I been blind
The way that you push me,darlin'
You know I couldn't take too much of that
So come on,come on,come on,show me the way
I wanna make love to you,little girl
Twenty five.....
My my my my.....
Oh suck it,yeah,oh

NO QUARTER
Close the door,put out the light
You know they won't be home tonight,oh no
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
Oh oh oh oh
To build a dream for me and you,oh
They choose a path where no one goes
They hold no quarter
Oh they ask,they ask no quarter,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
Oh yes they do
They choose a path where no one goes
They hold no quarter
They ask,they ask,they ask
They ask no quarter
Oh what they see me without quarter
Oh the pain,the pain without quarter
Ooh yeah,ooh yeah,ooh yeah
Oh give them quarter,quarter,quarter
Oh give them
PLANT: John Paul Jones,the piano!
...This is a song of hope...
STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows
If the stars are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
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 song bird that sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
And I think you can see that
And it makes me wonder,sure does
Oh yes sir
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 stand looking,oh oh oh oh.....
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 forest will echo with laughter
Baby,oh just give it to me
Give it to me,give it to me,sugar,sugar
But I got some good news,listen
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 path you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on
I hope so,oh baby,baby
Darlin' thank you,darlin' thank you
Darlin' thank you,darlin' thank you
Wait a minute,wait a minute
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,oh
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 everything still turns to gold,yeah
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all is one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll,not to roll
Don't make me roll
And she's buying a stairway to heaven,oh

STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN
Robert Plant & Jimmie Page
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 stars are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
And she's buying her stairway to heaven....
There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes word have two meanings
In a tree by the brook
There's a song-bird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
Oooah it makes me wonder....
There's a feeling I get
When I look to the west
And my spirit is cryin' for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen
Kings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking
Oooah it makes me wonder....
And it whispers that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will down
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter
Oooah....
If there's a buzzle in your headgerow
Don't be alarmed then
It's just the 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 it don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear Lady, can you hear the wind blow
And do you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind
And as the wind on-down the road
Our shadows taller then our souls
There walks a Lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will came to you at last
When all are one and one is all
TO BE A ROCK AND NOT TO ROLL
And she's buying her stairway to heaven....
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.
* Chorus
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.
*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?
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.
*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.
* 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 aint'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?

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.
*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.

Heartbreaker
------------
Hey fellas, have you heard the news?
You know Annie's back in town.
It won't take long just to watch and see
An' 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.
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.
Living Loving Maid (She's Just A Woman)
------ ------ ---- ------ ---- - ------
With a purple umberella 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.
*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.

Ramble On
------ --
Leaves are falling all around,
It's time on 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, somtimes 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 golem, the evil one crept up
And slipped away with her.
Her, her....yea.
Ain't nothing I can do, no.

(instrumental)
яImmigrant Song
--------- ----
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 their ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying:
Valhalla, I am coming!
On we sweep with threshing oar,
Our only goal will be the western shore.
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 oar,
Our only goal will be the western shore.
So now you'd better stop and rebuild your ruins,
For peace and trust can win the day
Despite 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 a friend, 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.
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.
*My, my, my, I'm so happy,
I'm gonna join the band,
We are gonna dance and sing and 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 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
----- ---- ---- ------ ---
Working seven to eleven ev'ry night,
It really makes my life a drag,
I don't think that's right.
I've really, really been the best of fools,
I did what I could,
'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 seven to eleven ev'ry night,
It kinda makes my life a drag.
Lord, you know it ain't right.
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.
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,
I open my front door hearing 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.
Out On The Tiles
--- -- --- -----
As I walk down the highway all I do is sing this song,
And a train that passes my way helps the rythm 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 and I live from day to day.
A ray of sunshine melts the clouds 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.
*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 come and people go 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 a little 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, 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 face 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
Tangerine
---------
Measuring a summer's day,
I only finds it slips away to grey,
The hours, they bring me pain.
*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 know 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 on 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.
*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?
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?
* Chorus
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.
*As we walk down a country lane,
I'll be singing a song,
Hear me calling your name.
Hear the whisper in 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 door 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.
Hats Off To (Roy) Harper

Gonna go shoot her now.

Hey, hey, mama, said the way you move
Gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove.
Oh, oh, child, way you shake that thing
Gonna make you burn, gonna make you sting.
Hey, hey, baby, when you walk that way
Watch your honey drip, can't keap away.
I gotta roll, can't stand still,
Got a flame in my heart, can't get my fill,
Eyes that shine burning red,
Dreams of you all thru my head.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
Hey, baby, oh, baby, pretty baby,
La la la la la la la.
(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 seas 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.
*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.

The Song Remains The Same
I had a dream - crazy dream
Anything I wanted to know
Any places I needed to go.
Hear my song - sing along
Any little song that you know
Everything that's small has to grow.
California sunlight, sweet Calcutta rain
Honolulu starbright - the song remains the same.
Sing out Hare Hare, dance the Hoochie Koo.
City lights are oh so bright, as we go sliding
sliding
sliding through.
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 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.
It isn't hard to recognise - these things are clear to all
from time to time.
Talk Talk -
I 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 season 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.
Mellotron - John Paul Jones
Over The Hills And Far Away
Hey lady - you got the love I need
oh Maybe - more than enough
oh Darling Darling walk a while with me
- oh you've got so much -
Many have 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 konows 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 reaaly ought to know
You reaaly ought to know.
The Crunge
I wanna tell you bout my good thing I ain't
disclosing no names - but she is a good friend
I ain't gonna tell you where she comes from if I tell
you you won't come again I aint gonna tell you that
I should do but I know now let me tell you bout
my girl open a newspaper and what do I see
see my girl looking at me and when she walks,
she walks and when she talks, she talks and
when she looks me in the eye she's my baby
I wanna make her mine tell me baby what you
want me to do you want me to love you, love
some other man too ain't gonna call me Mr. Pitiful
no I don't need no respect from nobody no
I ain't gonna tell you nothing I can't tell
you no more she's my baby let me tell you I love
her so and shes the woman I really wanna love
and let me tell you more she's my baby she lives
next door she's the one a woman the one a woman
that I know I ain't gonna tell you one thing that
you really ought to know she's my baby and I love
her so she's the one that really makes me whirl
and twirl and she's got the kind of love that makes
me fill the whole world she's the kind of girl
makes me jump and shout she's the kind of girl
lets me know what it's all about take it take it.
Synthesizer - John Paul Jones
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
You know it's alright
I said it's alright
You know 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' booze is precedent
As the evenong 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 evenings grow
I got my flower, you are my power
You are my woman who knows.

When I read the letter you wrote me

It made me sad sad sad
But I still love you so

No Quarter
Close the doors, put out the light
You know 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
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
Thay carry news that must get through
To build the dream for me and you
They choose the path where no one goes
They hold no quarter, they ask no quarter.
Grand Piano, Synthesiser Piano & Synthesised Bass - John Paul Jones
The Ocean
Singing in the sunshine, laughing in the rain
Hitting in the moonshine, rocking in the grain
Ain't no time to pack my bag, my foots outside the door
Got a date, can't be late for the high hopes hailla ball.
Singing to an ocean, I can hear the oceans roar
Play for free, play for me and play a whole lot more
Singing of the good things and the sun that lights the day
Singing to the ocean , has the ocean lost its way.
Sitting round singing songs til the night turns into day
Used to sing on themountains 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.

Rock down, lady, by the sea
Rock down, mama, just dream of me
Mama, love me, fool around all night long

The Rover
--- -----
I've been to London, seen seven wonders
I know to trip is just to fall
I used to walk it, sometimes I'd roll it
I always knew what it was for
There can't be no denyin'
That the wind is shakin' down
And the flatworm cryin'
And the new plague on the land
*If we could just join hands
If we could just join hands
If we could just join (hands)
Converse the planet when heaven send me
I saw the kings who rule them all
Still by the firelight and purple moonlight
I hear the rustin' rivers call
And the wind is cryin'
I'm a little bit more grown cold
My lover, she is lyin'
On the dark side of the globe
(* Repeat)
You got me rockin' when I ought to be alone
Darlin', come on, tell me, darlin', which way to go
You keep me rockin', baby, then you keep me spinnin'
Won't you tell me darlin', which way to go
That's right
Oh how I wonder, oh how I worry
And I would dearly like to know
I always wonder if earthly plunder
Will leave us anything to show
And our time is flyin'
See the candle burnin' low
Is the new world risin' from the shambles of the old
If we could just join hands (Repeat)
If we could just, if we could just (Repeat)
Join hands
That's all it takes (Repeat)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Repeat) that's right (Repeat)

Can I make your garden grow, you know I'll try

Kashmir
-------
Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face
And stars fill my dream
I'm a traveller of both time and space
To be where I have been
To sit with elders of the gentle race
This world has seldom seen
They talk of days for which they sit and wait
All will be revealed
Talk in song from tongues of lilting grace
Sounds caress my ear
And not a word I heard could I relate
The story was quite clear
Ooh, baby, I been blind
Oh, yeah, mama, there ain't no denyin'
Oh, ooh yes, I been blind
Mama, mama, ain't no denyin', no denyin'
All I see turns to brown
As the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand
As I scan this razor line
Can I find, can I find where I've been
Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace
Like sorts inside a dream
Leave the path the led me to that place
Yellow desert stream
Like Shangri-la beneath the summer moon
I will return again
As the dust that floats finds you
Will move and search Kashmir
Oh, father of the four winds fill my sails
Cross the sea of years
With no provision but an open face
Along the straits of fear
Oh, when I want, when I'm on my way, yeah
And my feet wear my fickle way to stay
Ooh, yeah yeah, ooh, yeah yeah, but I'm down
Ooh, yeah yeah, ooh, yeah yeah, but I'm down, so down
Ooh, my baby, oh, my baby
Let me take you there
Come on, oh let me take you there
Let me take you there
In The Light
-- --- -----
And if you feel that you can't go on
And your will's sinking low
Just believe and you can't go wrong
In the light you will find the road
You'll find the road
Hey, ooh, did you ever believe
That I could leave you standin' out in the cold
Hey, baby, I know how it feels
'Cause I have slipped through
To the very depths of my soul
Oh, baby, I just want to show you what I'd give you
In case you ever been on the road
Now, listen, oh, as I was and would do for you, too
Honey, as you would do for me
I would share your load, let me share load
Ooh, let me share you load
And if you feel that you can't go on
In the light you will find the road
Hey, oh the winds of change my blow around you
But that will always be so
Oh wo, when love is pain it can devour you
If you are ever alone
I'll share your load, I will share your load
Baby, let me, oh let me, in the light
Everybody needs a light, oh yeah, oh baby
Everybody, everybody, everybody sure 'nuff they do
Light, light, light, in the light (Repeat)

Down By The Seaside
---- -- --- -------
Down by the seaside
See the boats go sailin'
Can the people hear, oh
What the little fish are sayin'
*The people turned away
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
(* Repeat)
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
Do you still do the twist
Do you find you remember things that well
I want to tell you, some folks twistin' every day
Though sometimes it's awful hard to tell
Out in the country
Hear the people singin'
Singin' 'bout their progress
Knowin' where they're goin', yeah, yeah
(* Repeat)
Sing loud for the sunshine
Pray hard for the rain
And show your love for lady nature
And she will come back again
(* Repeat)
Now they know where they're goin'
Ten Years Gone
--- ----- ----
Then as it was, then again it will be
Though the course may change sometimes
Rivers always reach the sea
Like stars of fortune
Each has separate rays
On the wings of maybe
Down in birds of prey
Kind of makes me feel sometimes
I didn't have to grow
But as the eagle leaves the nest
He got so far to go
Changes fill my time
Baby, that's all right 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
Turn the eyes and I sparkle
Senses growing keen
Tasting love along the way
See your feathers preen
Kind of make you feel sometimes
Didn't hard to grow
We are eagles of one nest
The nest is in our souls
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' (Repeat)
I'm never gonna leave you, I'm never gonna leave you
Ten years gone, holdin' on, ten years gone (Repeat)
Night Flight
----- ------
I received a message from my love across the water
You sat laughin' as you wrote the ends in sight
So I said goodbye to all my friends
And packed my hopes inside a matchbox
'Cause I know it's time to fly
*Oh yeah, come on, meet me in the morning (won't you)
Meet me in the middle of the night (night night)
Oh yeah, the mornin' light is comin'
Don't it make you wanna (try to) feel all right
I just jumped a train that never stops
So now so how'll they know I never finished
Payin' for my ride
Just now someone pushed the dime into my hand
Tell me I'm the type of man
To fight the fight that I'll require
(* Repeat)
Oh, mama, well I think it's time I'm leavin'
Nothin' here to make me stay
Oh, mama, well it must be time I'm goin'
They're knockin' down them doors
They're tryin' to take me away
Please Mr. Brakeman, won't you ring your bell
And ring it loud and clear
Please Mr. Fireman, won't you ring your bell
And tell the people they got to fly away from here
I once saw a picture of a lady with a baby
Southern lady, had a very, very special smile
We ware in the middle of a change in destination
When the train starts, all together we will smile
Oh, come on, come on, now meet me in the morning
Won't you meet me in the middle of the night
Night, night, night
Oh yeah, everybody knows the mornin' time is comin'
Don't it make you wanna feel all right
Oh, yeah, make me feel all right, fly now, baby
Get to fly, yeah, fly my baby
The Wanton Song
--- ------ ----
See you movin' in the night again
Tell me I see too much, baby
Same old thing, I'm on a plane
And the wheel rolls on
Silent moves through the flames
>From the deep behind the soul
Guess my nightmares have now begun
Left me barely holdin' on
To strangers I seem a gentleman
When we know the time has come
Lose my sense and lose command
You know even rivers run
Seems like every time I fall
I think this is the one
Oh, in the darkness can you hear me call
Another day has just begun, another day
See all of my faces is changed
Some have a ways to come
Even my fire needs a brand new flame
And the wheel rolls on, rolls on
Boogie With Stu

Been in town, my baby
We just got to run home
Yeah, darlin', we just got to go home
I don't want no tutti-frutti, no lollipop
Come on, baby, just rock, rock, rock
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah honey
We been shakin' all night
Oh, darlin' we just got to run right
Ooh, my head, rock on, rock on
Hey baby, hey baby (Repeat)

You didn't have to tell me that you love me so
Didn't have to love me, mama, let me go
Hey, hey, mama, what's the matter here
You didn't have to make me a total disgrace
Didn't have to leave me with that beer in my face

You didn't have to crucify me like you did
You didn't have to tell me I was just your kid
Hey, hey, mama, why'd you treat me mean
You didn't have to say you'd always be by my side
Didn't have to tell me you'd be my blushing bride
Hey, hey, baby, why you treat me mean
But that's all right, I know your sister, too
You didn't have to tell me that you love me so
You didn't have to leave me, mama, let me go

You didn't have to leave me like a total disgrace
You didn't have to leave me with that beer on my face
Hey, hey, mama, what is wrong with you
Oh, but that's all right, I'd be the same way, too, oh yeah
Now, my baby, you didn't have to crucify me like you did
You didn't have to tell me I was just your kid
Hey, hey, mama, what's the matter here
You didn't have to tell me you would be my own
You didn't have to tell me, baby, let me go
Hey, hey, mama, what is wrong with you
Oh, that's all right, I know your sister, too
Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah
What's the matter with you, mama
Sick Again

On the window of your ready little scene
I'm lookin' in your eyes
One day soon you're gonna reach sixteen
Ain't a lady in the city of lights
*Oh, do you know my name
Do I look the same
You know I'm the one you want, baby
I must be the one you need, yeah
Reflections, baby, from your teenage dream
In the lobby of a hotel cafe dive
Through the circus of the L. A. queens
I passed you round, went right on by
Oh, how you play the game
Still don't know your name
You know I'm the one you want, baby
Yes I'd love to be the one you need
Oh, you got to tell me
Get this, get this
Lips like cherries on the frown of a queen
Come on, flash it right in my eyes
Said you dug me since you were thirteen
Then you giggle as you hurt inside
(* Repeat)
Baby, I got to tell you I'm the one you want
And everybody knows I'm the one you need, yeah
Oh get it, come on, now (Repeat)
Hours, hours, and the moments in between
Oh baby, I could count the times
I've thought of comin' on a plane and leavin'
Baby, dry those silver eyes
(* Repeat)
You know I'm the one you want
Yes, I'm the one you need
Oh, that's right

HOT DOG
Well I just went into town today *
To find my girl who's gone away
She took the Greyhound from the general store
I search myself I search 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
And they said heaven knows who she's waiting for *
I took her word I took it all
Beneath the sign that said U-haul
Sweet little angel's hanging around for more
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 thought I had it all sown up
Our love, a plot, a pickup truck
But folks said she was after something more
I never did quite understand
All that talk aout rocking bands
But they just rolled my doll right out the door
They just rolled my doll right out the door
Why--- they just rolled my doll right out the door
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?
Chorus:
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 maade yet again;
one voice is clear above the din.
Proud Arian one word, my will to sustain.
For me, the cloth once more to spin. Oh.
repeat chorus
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. Oh.
repeat chorus and fade
CAROUSELAMBRA
Sistres 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 jeodardize 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 cion, 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?
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.
Take of the fruit, but guard the seed.

GOOD TIMES BAD TIMES (Page/Plant/Bonham)
In the day of my youth

Now I've reached to do all those thinge the best I can
No matter how I try.
I find my way to the same old jam
Good Times Bad Times
You know I've hag my share
When me 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
It 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
But when I whispered in her ear
I lost another friend
I know what it means to be alone
I sure do wish I was at home
I don't care what the neighbours say
I 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 (Page)

Hear, what I say, every day.

But now I've got to go away
Baby, baby, baby, baby,

DAZED AND CONFUSED (Page)
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
Ev'ry 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 bargain for you
Take it easy baby, let them say what they will
Will your tongue wag so much when I sand you the bill
YOUR TIME IS GONNA COME (Page/Jones)
Lyin', cheatin', hurtin', that's all you seem to do
Messin' around with ev'ry guy in town
Puttin' me down for thinkin' of someone new
Always the same playin' your game
Drive me insane
Trouvles gonna come to you
One of these days and it won't be long
You, il look for me, and, baby, I'll be gone
This is all I gotta say to you woman
Chorus:
Your Time is Gonna Come
Your Time is Gonna Come
Your Time is Gonna Come
Your Time is Gonna Come
Made up my mind to break you this time
Won't it be so fine, it's my turn to cry
Do what 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 gonea away to stay
Gonna make you pay for the 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 comin' back home to you

But I'm gonna give her everything I've got to give
Oh, Rosie, oh, girl

Well, what's to be, they say will be
Chorus: Catch the wind

Oh what fun it all should be
Then what's to stop us pretty baby

And happiness is what you need so bad

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 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, look see
And so today, my world is 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 (Page/Plant/Jones/Bonham)
Hey, fellas, have you heard the news
You know Annie's back in town
It won't take long just watch and see
An' the fellas lay their money down
Her style is kew 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
People talkin' all around 'bout
The way you left me flat
I don't care what the 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!
Well, it's been ten years and maybe more
Since I first set 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 aboe
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 ways,
Go away
Heartbreaker

Livin' lovin' she's just a woman
Missus cool rides out in her aged Cadillac
Chorus: Come on, babe, on the roundabout
Ride on the merrygo-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

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

Every time I go away and leave You darling

RAMBLE ON (Page/Plant)
Leaves are falling all around
It's time 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 headee 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 may
Chorus: Been this way ten years to the day
Ramble on
Queen of all my dreams
Got no time to spend my weep
The time has come to be gone
And tho' our health we drank a thousand times
Have to Ramble On
Mine's a tale that can't be told
My freedom I hold dear
How many years ago in days of old
When magic filled the air
T'was in the darkest depths of Mordor
I met a girl so fair
But golem, the evil was crept up
And slipped away with her
Her, her,,,you
Ain't nothing I can do
Chorus and fade

IMMIGRANT SONG (R.Plant/J.Page)
Ah Ah
We come from the land of the ie and snow
From the mid-nite sun where the hot springs blow
The hammer of the gods
Will drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde
Singing and crying:
Valhalla, I am coming!
On we sweep with threshing oar
Our only goal will be the western shore
Ah Ah
We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the mid-nite sun where the hot springs blow
How soft youe fields so green
Can whisper tales of gore
Of how we calmed the threshing oar
Our only goal will be the western shore
So now you'd better stop
And rebuild all your ruins
For peace ans trust can win the day
Despite all your losing
FRIENDS (J.Page/R.Plant)
Bright light almost blinding
Black night still there shining
I can't stop keep on climbing
Looking for what I knew
I had a friend she once told me
"You got a love, you ain't lonely",
Now she's gone and left me only
Looking for what I lnew
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
Moet 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
Someday 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
CTLTBRATION DAY (J.Page/R.Plant/J.P.Jones)
Her face is cracled from smiling
All the fears that's been hiding
And it seems that pretty soon
Everybody'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
My, my, my, I'm so happy
I'm gonna dance and sing and celebration
We are in the promised land
She hears them ralk of new ways
To protect the ome she lives in
Then the 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
My, my, my, I'm so happy
I'm gonna join the band
We are gonna dance and sing and celebration
We are in the promised land
There is a train that leaves the station
Heading for your destinstion
But the price you pay to nowhere
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
Oh, yeah yeah...
SINCE I'VE BEEN LOVING YOU (J.Page/R.Plant/J.P.Jones)
Working from seven
to eleven every night
It really makes my life a drag -
I don't think that's right
I've really been the best-
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, I've been working from seven
to eleven every night, I say it
kinda makes my life a drag, drag, frag, drag,
Lord, you know 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
Oo, 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
Do you remember mama when I knocked up on your door?
I said you had the nerve to tell me
You didn't want me no more
I open my fromt door hearing my back door slam
You must have one of them new now fangled back door man,

I've been working from seven, sven, seven to eleven ev'ry
night
It kinda makes my life a drag, drag, drag
Oh 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
OUT ON THE TILES (Page/Plant/Bohnam)
As I walk down the highway,
all I do is sing this song,
And a train that passes my way
helps the rhythm move along
There is no doubts about the words
are clear, the voice is strong,
Is oh so strong.
I'm just a simple guy,
and I live from day to day
A ray of sunshine melts the clouds
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.
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 place
It must be a race
And the best thing I can do is run.
All I need from you is all your love
All you got to give to me is all you love
All I need from you is all your love
All you got to give to me is all your love...
GALLOWS POLE (Traditional Arrangement by

Hangman, hangman hold it a little while

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

Oh, yes, you got a fine sister,
She warmed my blood from cold,
She 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
Swinging on the Gallows Pole...
TANGERINE (Page)
Measuring a summer's day
I only find it slips away to grey
The hours they bring me pain
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.
Tangerine, Tangerine,
Living reflection from a dream,
I was her love, she was my queen,
And now a thousand years between...
THAT's THE WAY (Page/Plant)
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 on the darker side of town.
And when I'm out I see you walking
Why don't your eyes see j me,
Could it be you've found another game to play
what did mama say to me.
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
Yeah yeah ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Stay, yeah ah ah ah ah
And yeasteday I saw you standing by the river
And weren't those tears that filled your eyes
And all the fish they lay in dirty water dying,
Had they got you hypnotized?
Yeasterday 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.
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 aid mama say to me.
That's the way it ought to be
That's the way it ought to stay yeah.
I don't know what to say about it,
When all your tears have turned away
But now's the time to look and look again of what you see,
Is that the way it ought to stay?
That's the way, oh That's the way it ought to be,
Oh don't you know now
mama say That's the Way it's gonna stay
yeah yeag ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Stay, yeah, ah ah ah ah
BRON-Y-AUR STOMP (Page/Plant/J.P.Jones)
Ah, caught you smiling on 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
As we walk down a country mane,
I'll be singing a song hear me calling your name
Hear the wind whisper in the trees
telling Mother Nature 'bout you and me
Well, if the sun shines so bright
or one way it's darkest night
will our love go on and on and on and on and on and on?
As we walk down a country lane
I'll be singing a song hear me calling your name
Hear the wind whisper in the trees
telling Mother Nature 'bout you and me.
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 blus-eyed merle
Come on now let me tekl you
What you're missing missing 'round them brick walls
So of one thing I'm sure
It's a friendship so pure
angels singing all around my door 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
Whenyou're old and your eyes are dim
there ain't no old Sher gonna happen again
we'll still go walking down country lones
I'll sing the same old songe, hear me call your name

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
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 mt get
it back,

It's been a long time, been a long time,
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, linely time
Yes it has.
It's been a ling time since the 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 came 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, open 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,
lonely time
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
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
THE BATTLE OF EVERMORE (Page/Plant)
1 Queen of Light took her bow
and then she turned to go
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom
and walked the night alone
2 Oh, dance in the dark of night
sing to the morning light
1 The dark Lord rides in force tonight
and time will tell us all
2 Oh, Throw down your plow and hoe,
rest not to lock your homes.
1 Side by side we wait the might
of the darkest of them all
1+2 I hear the horses' thunder
down in the valley below
I'm waiting for the angles of Avalon
waiting for the eastern glow
1 The apples of the valley hold
the seas of happiness
the ground is rich from tender care,
repay, do not forget, no, no.
2 Oh, dance in the dark of night
sing to the morning light
1 The apples turn to brown and black,
the tyrant's face is red
2 Oh, war is the common cry,
pick up your swords and fly
1 The sky is filled with good and bad,
that mortals never know
1+2 Oh, well, the night is long,
the deads of time pass slow
tired eyes on the sunrise
waiting for the eastern glow
1 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
2 Sing as you raise your bow
shoot straighter than before.
1 The comfort has the fire at night
that lights the face so cold
2 Oh, dance in the dark of night
Sing to the morning loght
1 The magic runes sre writtin' gold
To bring the balance back
2 Bring it back
1+2 At last the sun is shining
the clouds of blue roll by
with flames from the dragon of darkness
the sunlight blinds his eyes
The 1 is sung by Robert Plant
The 2 is sung by Sandy & Denny
STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN (Page/Plant)
There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stsirway to heaven
And 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
Cos you know sometimes words have to 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 dreams I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it really makes me wonder
And it 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 forest 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 is 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 is calling you to join him
Dear lady can you hear the wind blow
And did you know
Your stairway's lying on the whispering wind
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our souls
Where walk the kady we all know
Who shines white light and want to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you all 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 (Page/Plant/Jones)
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 khow 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, oh.
Why don't you take a good look at yourself and describe
what you see
And Baby, Baby do you like it?
There you sit, sitting spare like a book on a shelf
rustin'
ah, not tryin' to fight it.
You really don't care if they're coming
oh, oh
I know that it's all a state of mind, oh
If you go down in the streets today, baby, you better
You better open your eyes, oh yeah
Folk sown there really don't care, really don't care,
really don't
which, which way the pressure lies
so I've deckided what I'm gonna do now
So I'm packing me bags for the Misty Mountains
where the spirits go now
over the hillswhere the spirits fly
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
I really don't know, know, know, know, know, know, know
I really don't know, know, know, know, know, know, know
I really don't ...
FOUR STICKS (Page/Plant)
Oh, Baby, it's cryin' time
Oh, Baby, I got to fly
Got to try to find a way
Gotvto 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 outlong
And when the owls cry in the night
Oh, Baby, Baby, when the pines begin to dry
Baby, Baby, Baby, how do you feel?
If the river runs dry, Baby, how would you feel?
Craze, Baby, 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
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, how would you feel?
GOING TO CALIFORNIA (Page/Plant)
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 ket 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 tremble and shake
As the children of the sun began to wake
Seems that the wrath of the Gods got a punch
on the nose and it started to flow
I think might be sinking
Throw me a line if I reach it in time
I'll meet you up there the path runs straight and high
To fing 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, never
been born
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,
Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, as it seems.
WHEN THE LEVEE BREAKS (Page/Plant/Jones/Bonham/Memphis
Minnie)
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 weep and moan
It's 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 got 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 my baby and my happy home
Going, goin' to Chicago, goin' to Chicago
sorry but I can't take you
Going down, going down now, going...
