and the forests will echo with laughter.

All songs written by Jimmy Page & Robert Plant, except where noted.

  • 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
    • Hey Hey What Can I Do
  • In the bars, with the men who play guitars
    Singin', drinkin' and rememberin' the times
    My little lover does a midnight shift
    She's 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.
    • Hey Hey What Can I Do

[edit] Led Zeppelin (1969)

  • In the days of my youth, I was told what it means to be a man,
    Now I've reached that age, I've tried to do all those things the best I can.
    No matter how I try, I find my way into the same old jam.
  • 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.
  • 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.

[edit] Led Zeppelin II (1969)

  • You need coolin', baby, I'm not foolin',
    I'm gonna send you back to schoolin',
    Way down inside honey, you need it,
    I'm gonna give you my love,
    I'm gonna give you my love.
  • Catch the wind, see us spin, sail away, leave today, way up high in the sky.
    But the wind won't blow, you really shouldn't go, it only goes to show
    That you will be mine, by takin' our time.
  • 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.
    • What Is and What Should Never Be
  • If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
    When mountains crumble to the sea, there would still be you and me.
  • 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.
    • Heartbreaker, written by John Bonham/John Paul Jones/Jimmy Page/Robert Plant
  • 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.
  • Got no time to for spreadin' roots, The time has come to be gone.
    And to' our health we drank a thousand times, it's time to Ramble On.
  • 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 depths of Mordor, I met a girl so fair.
    But Gollum, the evil one, crept up and slipped away with her, her, her....yeah.
    • Ramble On

[edit] Led Zeppelin III (1970)

  • Ah, ah,
    We come from the land of the ice and snow,
    From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
    The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
    To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!
    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 trust can win the day despite of all your losing.
    • Immigrant Song
  • Baby, Since I've Been Loving You,
    I'm about to lose,
    I'm about lose my worried mind.
  • Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while,
    Think I see my friends coming, Riding a many mile.
    Friends, did you get some silver?
    Did you get a little gold?
    What did you bring me, my dear friends, To keep me from the Gallows Pole?
    What did you bring me to keep me from the Gallows Pole?
  • Tangerine, Tangerine,
    Living reflection from a dream;
    I was her love, she was my queen,
    And now a thousand years between.

[edit] Led Zeppelin IV (1971)

  • 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.
    • Black Dog, written by Jimmy Page/Robert Plant/John Paul Jones
  • Didn't take too long 'fore I found out, what people mean by down and out.
    Spent my money, took my car, started telling 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.
    • Black Dog
  • All I ask for when I pray, steady rollin' woman gonna come my way.
    Need a woman gonna hold my hand, won't tell me no lies, make me a happy man.
    • Black Dog
  • 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.
    • Rock and Roll, written by Jimmy Page/Robert Plant/John Paul Jones/John Bonham
  • 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.
  • And it's whispered that soon if we all call a 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. O O O O
    • Stairway to Heaven
  • 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.
    • Stairway to Heaven
  • 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.
    • Stairway to Heaven
  • 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.
  • 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 like the wrath of the gods got a punch on the nose and has 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.
    • Going to California
  • 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.
    • Going to California
  • If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break,
    When The Levee Breaks I'll have no place to stay.
  • Don't it make you feel bad when you're tryin' to find your way home,
    you don't know which way to go?
    • When the Levee Breaks

[edit] Houses of the Holy (1973)

  • Hear my song. People won't you listen now? Sing along.
    You don't know what you're missing now.
    Any little song that you know
    Everything that's small has to grow.
    And it has to grow!
  • This is the springtime of my loving - the second season I am to know
    You are the sunlight in my growing - so little warmth I've felt before.
    It isn't hard to feel me glowing - I watched the fire that grew so low.
  • Upon us all a little rain must fall.
    • The Rain Song
  • Hey lady--you got the love I need
    Maybe more than enough.
    Oh Darling, darling, darling walk a while with me
    You've got so much...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.
    • Over the Hills and Far Away
  • Dancing days are here again as the summer evenings grow
    I got my flower, I got my power, I got a woman who knows.
  • I saw a lion, he was standin' alone with a tadpole in a jar.
    • Dancing Days
  • You'll be my only, my one and only. Is that the way it should start?
    • Dancing Days
  • When I read the letter you wrote, it made me mad mad mad
    When I read the news that it brought me, it made me sad sad sad.
    But I still love you so, I can't let you go
    I love you- ooh baby I love you.
    • D'yer Mak'er, written by John Bonham, John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant

[edit] Physical Graffiti (1975)

  • I've been to London, seen seven wonders. I know to trip is just to fall
    I used to rock it, sometimes I'd roll it. I always knew what it was for.
  • In my time of dying, want nobody to mourn
    All I want for you to do is take my body home.
    Well, well, well so I can die easy...
    • In My Time of Dying, Traditional; arr./adap. by Jimmy Page/Robert Plant/John Paul Jones/John Bonham
  • So the world is spinning faster
    Are you dizzy when you're stoned?
    Let the music be your master.
    Will you heed the master's call?
    Oh-whoa-oh, Satan an' man
    Said there ain't no use in cryin'.
    'Cause it will only, only drive you mad.
    Does it hurt to hear them lyin'?
    Was this the only world you had?
  • Whoa, let the sun beat down upon my face
    And stars to fill my dream.
    I am a traveler of both time and space,
    To be where I have been.
    T' sit with elders of the gentle race
    This world has seldom seen.
    Th' talk of days for which they sit and wait
    All will be revealed.
    • Kashmir, written by Jimmy Page/Robert Plant/John Bonham
  • Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace
    Like thoughts inside a dream.
    Heed the path that led me to that place,
    Yellow desert stream.
    My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon
    Will return again.
    Sure as the dust that floats b'hind you
    When movin' through Kashmir.
    • Kashmir
  • Then as it was, then again it will be
    An' though the course may change sometimes
    Rivers always reach the sea
    Blind stars of fortune, each have several rays
    On the wings of maybe, down in birds of prey
    Kind of makes me feel sometimes, didn't have to grow
    But as the eagle leaves the nest, it's got so far to go.

[edit] Presence (1976)

  • With all the fun to have, to live the dreams we always had.
    Oh, the songs to sing, when we at last return again.
  • Oh, to sail away, to sandy lands and other days.
    Oh, to touch the dream, hides inside and never seen.
    • Achilles Last Stand
  • Ohh the mighty arms of Atlas
    Hold the Heavens from the Earth.
    • Achilles Last Stand
  • You said I was the only, oh, oh
    With my lemon in your hand.
    Exhibition is your habit,
    Emotions second hand, oh, oh.
    Had to pull away to save me;
    Maybe next time around.
    And she said, don't you wannit?
    Don't you want coca coca cocaine?
    Hadn't planned to, could not stand to
    Try it, friend, yeah, na, na, yeah.
  • One town love, you better take care how you use it.
    Try to make it last all night, and if you take your pick,
    Be careful how you choose it. Sometimes its hard to feel it bite.
    Feel it bite.
    • Royal Orleans, written by John Bonham/John Paul Jones/Jimmy Page/Robert Plant
  • How come twenty four hours
    Baby sometimes seem to slip into days?
    Oh twenty-four hours
    Baby sometimes seem to slip into days.
    When a minute seems like a lifetime,
    Ooh baby when I feel this way.
    Sittin, lookin at the clock.
    Oh time moves so slow.
    I've been watchin' for the hands to move
    Until I just can't look no more.
    How come twenty four hours
    Baby sometimes seems to slip into days?

[edit] In Through the Out Door (1979)

  • In the evening,
    When the day is done
    I'm looking for a woman;
    Oh, but the girl don't come.
    So don't let her
    Play you for a fool.
    She don't show no pity baby,
    No no, she don't make no rules.
  • Well there's a light in your eye that keeps shining
    Like a star that can't wait for the night
    I hate to think I've been blinded baby
    Why can't I see you tonight?
  • Now I will stand in the rain on the corner
    I'll watch the people go shuffling downtown.
    Another ten minutes, no longer
    And then I'm turning around.
    The clock on the wall's moving slower;
    My heart it sinks to the ground.
    And the storm that I thought would blow over
    Clouds the light of the love that I found.
    • Fool in the Rain
  • Now my body is starting to quiver
    And the palms of my hands getting wet.
    I've got no reason to doubt you baby,
    It's all a terrible mess.
    I'll run in the rain till I'm breathless.
    When I'm breathless I'll run till I drop, hey.
    The thoughts of a fool's kind of careless;
    I'm just a fool waiting on the wrong block, oh yeah.
    Light of the love that I found...
    • Fool In the Rain
  • For many hours and days that pass ever soon
    The tides have caused the flame to dim.
    At last the arm is straight, the hand to the loom.
    Is this to end or just begin?
    All of my love, all of my love, All of my love to you.

[edit] Coda (1982)

  • 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
    Ya know, ya know, ya know...
