Black Dog

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 keep away.

Oh yeah, Oh yeah, ah, ah, ah. Oh yeah, Oh yeah, ah, ah, ah.

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 through my head.

Ah, ah, ah...

Hey, baby, oh, baby, pretty baby, Tell me won't you you do me now.

Didn't take too long before I found out, what people mean my down and out.
Spent my money, took my car, started telling her friends she gonna be a star.
I don't know but I've been told, a big-legged woman ain't got no soul.

Oh yeah, Oh yeah, ah, ah, ah. Oh yeah, Oh yeah, ah, ah, ah.

All I ask for, all I pray, steady loving woman gonna come my way.
Need a woman gonna hold my hand, won't tell me no lies, make me a happy man.

Ah, ah, ah...

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 Law,
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, oh.
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.
Oh, yeah, open your arms, opens your arms,
Open your arms, baby, let my love come running in, yeah
It's been a long time, been a long time,
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.
Yeah, yeah... oh yeah
It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.

The Battle Of Evermore

The 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 morning 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 horses' thunder down in the valley below,
I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon, waiting for the eastern glow.

The apples of the valley hold, The seeds of happiness,
The ground is rich from tender care, repay, do not forget, no, no.
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 the 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 ringwraiths 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 morning 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.

Ah... bring it back, bring it back
Oh now, oh now, bring it back...
Bring it, bring it...

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, 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 everything 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

Walking in the park just the other day, baby,
What do you, what do you think I saw?
Crowds of people sitting 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, oh, oh, oh
So I asked them if I could stay a while.

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 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, 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 rusting
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'd better,
You'd better open your eyes, oh yeah.
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.

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?

Oh, oh, how do you feel?
Oh, yeah...

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, I wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today.
The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake
The children of the sun began to awake, watch out.

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
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.

Oh, oh...

When The Levee Breaks

If it keeps on raining, levee's going to break,
If it keeps on raining, levee's going to break,
When the levee breaks I'll have no place to stay.

Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan,
Mean old levee taught me to 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.
Ah, ah...

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, ooh.

All last night sat on the levee and moaned,
All last night sat on the levee and moaned,
Thinkin' about my baby and my happy home.
Ah, ah...
Going, going to Chicago... going to Chicago... sorry but I can't take you...
Going down... going down now... going down....
