Poor Tom
(Page/Plant)
Here's a tale of Tom,
who worked the railroads long.
His wife would cook his meal,
as he would change the wheel.
Poor Tom, Seventh Son,
always knew what's goin on
Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom
There ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom
Worked for thirty years,
sharing hopes and fears
Dreamin' of the day
he could turn and say
Poor Tom, work's done, been lazin' out in the noonday sun
Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom
Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom
His wife was Annie Mae,
with any man a game she'd play.
When Tom was out of town,
she couldn't keep her dress down.
Poor Tom, Seventh Son, always knew what's goin on
Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom
Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom
And so it was one day
People got to Annie Mae
Tom stood, a gun in his hand,
and stopped her runnin' around
Poor Tom, Seventh Son, gotta die for what you've done
All those years of work are thrown away
To ease your mind is that all you can say?
But what about that grandson on your knee?
Them railroad songs, Tom would sing to me
Ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom (3 times)
There ain't nothing you can hide from Tom.
Keep-a Truckin'
Keep-a truckin'
I Can't Quit You Baby
(Dixon)
I can't quit you babe.
Woman, I think I'm gonna put you down for a little while
I can't quit you babe
I... think I'm gonna put you down for a while
I said you messed up my happy home,
made me mistreat my only child
You built my hopes so high,
baby, then you let me down so low.
You built my hopes so high then ya let me down.... so low
Don'tcha realize sweet baby?
Woman I don't know... which way to go
Woman I can't quit you babe
I think I'm gonna put you down for a while
Walter's Walk
(Page/Plant)
Ooh...know I feel so strange looking out the door
oooh...tryin hard to change but can't let go
oooh...cryin' tears of pain and more and more
oooh...everyday is the same as the one before
I'm walkin the floor over you
I'm walkin the floor
Every heart that breaks is a heart that's cold
To the hand that takes your dreamless soul
Ooh...Is it long to wait, is it much to pay?
oooh...Sometimes it's hard waiting for the day.
you know it's hard. I said it's hard
You know it's true. I said it's hard
you know it's hard. You know it's true
Every tear that falls is a smile that's lost
When you hear the call can you count the cost?
As you stand alone do you wonder how?
Can you step aside, does it matter now?
Every love that's changed ???
In the eye of the night ? ? ? ?
In the day everything ????
She was smilin' a tear at her waters fall
You know it's true.
You know it's true now, ooh yea.
I'm walkin the floor over you
I'm walkin' the floor
Every tear that falls is a smile that's lost
When you hear the call can you count the cost?
As you stand alone do you wonder how?
Can you step aside, does it matter now?
Does it matter now? (3 times)
ooh yea
Every tear that falls...does it matter now?
Does it matter?
Oh yea!
Oh yes!

Wearing And Tearing
(Page/Plant)
It starts out like a murmur
Then it grows like thunder
Until it bursts inside of you
Try to hold it steady
Wait until you're ready
Any second now will do
Throw the door wide open
Not a word is spoken
Anything that you want to do, yea!
(CHORUS)
Ya know, ya know, ya know... (repeat)
Don't you feel the same way?
Don't you feel the same way?
But you don't know what to do, yeh
No time for hesitatin,
Ain't no time for hesitatin'
All you got to do is move
They say you're feeling blue, well,
I just found a cure;
It's a thing you gotta do, yeah
(chorus)
Now listen: Well, you say your body's aching?
I know that it's aching
Chill bumps come up on you
Yeah, the funny fool...yeah
I love the funny fool,
just like foolin' after school
And then you ask for medication.
Who cares for medication,
when you've worn away the cure?
(Chorus)
Hey, hey...hey, hey (2 times)
Go back to the country
Yeah, go back to the country
Feel a change is good for you
When you keep convincin,
ah, don't keep convincin'
What's that creeping up behind a you?
It's just an old friend
It's just an old friend
And what's that he's got for you?
(chorus)
Do your dance do your dance do your dance (6 times)
Oooooh, medication. Medication! Medication!

Baby, Come On Home
(Berns/Page/Plant)
There was a time,
I used to call you on my very own
We were so happy woman,
talkin' for hours and hours on the telephone
Then one day,
I set you up to walk right outta my life
Leavin' me all by myself,
all alone, to cry every night.
Babe, babe, babe.. oooh, I want you to come back home yeah (come on home)
(oooh yeah) Sweet little girl - ooh yeah, been gone so long,
been away so long
Now listen to me: I said I made up my mind
Woman when you left me there, oh
I was gonna find another sweet lover
Who's gonna feel all of my... cares
So I met a sweet little girl,
just about as nice as she could be, oh,
I fell in love with that woman,
but she turned around,
and did the same thing again to me...
Babe, babe, babe....Baby, please come home (come on home) hoome yeah... yeah
I know, ya been gone too long, been away so long
Babe, babve, babe..I want you to please come home, oh, ah, yea You've been gone too long
So I made up my mind,
I gonna crawl right back to you woman.
I'm gonna plead and plead and plead, yeah,
'Till you're here by my side
I can't even walk down the same old streets we used to walk down
'Cause I keep thinkin about all the good times
Keep thinkin' about it, I wanna make you mine
Ooooh, Babe, babe, babe, please come on home, yeah,
You've been gone too long
(You've been gone too long)
Repeat
Hey Hey What Can I Do
(Bonham/Jones/Page/Plant)
Wanna tell you about the girl I love
My she looks so fine
She's the only one that I been dreamin' of,
maybe someday she will be all mine
I wanna tell her that I love her so
I thrill with her every touch
I need to tell her she's the only one I really love
I got a woman, wanna ball all day
I got a woman, she won't be true, no
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I said I got a little woman and she won't be true
Sunday morning, when we go down to church,
see the menfolk standin' in line.
I said they come to pray to the Lord,
with my little girl, looks so fine.
In the evening, when the sun is sinkin' low,
everybody's with the one they love...
I walk the town, 'n keep a-searchin' all around -
lookin' for my street corner girl.
I got a woman, wanna ball all day
I got a woman, she won't be true, no no
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I said I got a little woman, and she won't be true!
In the bars, with the men who play guitars,
singin', drinkin' and rememberin' the times.
My little lover does a midnight shift.
She followed around all the time.
I guess there's just one thing a-left for me to do..
gonna pack my bags and move on my way,
cause I got a worried mind,
sharin' what I thought was mine.
Gonna leave her where the guitars play!
I got a woman, she won't be true, no no
I got a woman, wanna ball all day
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I got a little woman and she won't be true
(Hey hey what can I do)
I said she won't be true
Hey Hey, What can I say?
Hey hey, what can I do
I got a woman, she won't be true
Lord, hear what I say
I got a woman, wanna ball all day
Travelling Riverside Blues
(Johnson/Page/Plant)
Asked sweet mama, let me be her kid
She said, "You might get hurt if you don't keep it hid."
Well I know my baby, if I see her in the dark
I said, "I know my rider, if I see her in the dark."
Now, I goin' to Rosedale,
take my rider by my side
Still barrelhouse, if it's on the riverside, yeah.
I know my baby, Lord, I said, "is really sloppy drunk."
I know my mama, Lord, a brownskin, but she ain't no plum.
See my baby, tell her, Tell her hurry home.
Had no lovin', since my baby been gone.
See my baby, Tell hurry on home
I ain't had, Lord, my right mind, since my rider's been gone.
Hey, she promises, she's my rider
I wanna tell you, she's my rider
I know you're mine, she's my rider
She ain't but sixteen, but she's my rider.
I'm goin' to Rosedale, take my rider by side
Anybody argue with me man, I'll keep them satisfied.
Well, see my baby, tell her, tell her the shape I'm in.
Ain't had no lovin', Lord, since you know when.
Spoken: Why don't you come into my kitchen?
She's a kindhearted lady. She studies evil all the time.
She's a kindhearted woman. She studies evil all the time.
Squeeze my lemon 'til the juice runs down my leg
Squeeze it so hard, I'll fall right out of bed
Squeeze my lemon, 'til the juice runs down my leg
Spoken: I wonder if you know what I'm talkin' about
Oh, but the way that you squeeze it girl,
I swear I'm gonna fall right out of bed!!
She's a good rider,
She's my kindhearted lady.
I'm gonna take my rider by my side.
I said her front teeth are lined with gold.
She's gotta mortgage on my body, got a lien on my soul.
She's my brownskin sugar plum...
