Black Dog Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Hey, hey, mama, said the way you move
Gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove
Ah, ah, 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
[Chorus]
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
Ah, ah, ah
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
Ah, ah, ah
[Verse 2]
I gotta roll, can't stand still
Got a flaming heart, can't get my fill
Eyes that shine burning red
Dreams of you all through my head
[Interlude]
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah
[Bridge]
Hey, baby, oh, baby, pretty baby
Darling, can't you do me now?
Hey, baby, oh, baby, pretty baby
Move me while you do me now
[Verse 3]
Take too long 'fore I found out
What people mean by down and out
Spent my money, took my car
Started telling her friend she gonna be a star
I don't know, but I've been told
A big-legged woman ain't got no soul
[Chorus]
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
Ah, ah, ah
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
Ah, ah, ah
[Verse 4]
All I ask for, all 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
[Interlude]
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah
[Instrumental Outro]
Ah
Ooh, ooh-wah, yeah, oh, yeah, gotta move
Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Gotta move you, now, babe, babe, move, you move, yeah
Push, push, babe, push, babe, push, babe
Push it, now, push, baby, push, baby, push, move, move
Ooh, yeah, ooh, move
Well, done
I'm gonna get ya groovin', now, gonna get ya groovin', now
Rock and Roll Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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, whoa, whoa, oh
It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
Ahhh! Ahhh!
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 3]
Oh, it seems so long since we walked in the moonlight
Making vows that just can't work right
Oh yeah, open your arms, open 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
[Verse 4]
Yeah hey, yeah hey
Yeah hey, yeah hey
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
[Drum Solo]
The Battle of Evermore Lyrics
[Verse 1: Robert Plant, Sandy Denny, both]
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
Oh-oh
[Chorus: Robert Plant & Sandy Denny]
I hear the horses' thunder down in the valley below
I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon
Waiting for the eastern glow
[Verse 2: Robert Plant, Sandy Denny, both]
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, war is the common cry
Pick up your swords and fly
The sky is filled with good and bad
Mortals never know, oh
[Chorus: Robert Plant & Sandy Denny]
Oh, well, the night is long, the beads of time pass slow
Tired eyes on the sunrise
Waiting for the eastern glow
[Verse 3: Robert Plant, Sandy Denny, both]
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 (ride on)
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
[Outro: Robert Plant & Sandy Denny]
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
Ah
[Outro: Robert Plant]
Bring it back, bring it back
Bring it back, bring it back
Bring it back, bring it back
Bring it back, bring it back
Oh, now, oh, now, oh, now, oh
Oh, now, oh, now, oh, now
Bring it back, bring it back
Bring it back, bring it back
Ooh, now, oh, now, oh, now, oh
Oh, now, oh, now, oh, now
Bring it, bring it, bring it, bring it
Bring it, bring it, bring it, bring it
Bring it, bring it, bring it, bring it
Stairway to Heaven Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Refrain]
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, makes me wonder
[Verse 3]
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
[Refrain]
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, really makes me wonder
[Verse 4]
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
[Interlude]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-woah-ho
[Verse 5]
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
[Refrain]
And it makes me wonder
Ohh, oh-oh
[Verse 6]
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
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
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, yeah
To be a rock and not to roll
[Outro]
And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
Misty Mountain Hop Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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?
[Chorus]
I really don't know what time it was
Woah-oh-oh
So I asked them if I could stay a while
[Verse 2]
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?
[Chorus]
Well, you know
They asked us to stay for tea and have some fun
Hoh-oh-oh
He said that his friends would all drop by
Ooh
[Verse 3]
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 tryin’ to fight it
[Chorus]
You really don't care if they're coming?
Oh-oh-oh
I know that it's all a state of mind, ooh (No, no, no!)
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 4]
If you go down in the streets today, baby, you better
You better open your eyes, woah-woah-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
[Chorus]
So I'm packing my bags for the Misty Mountains
Where the spirits go now
Over the hills where the spirits fly
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Outro]
I really don't know, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I really don't know, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I really don't know
Four Sticks Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, baby, it's crying 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
[Verse 2]
Oh, baby, the river's red
Ah, baby, in my head
There's a funny feeling going on
I don't think I can hold out long
[Bridge]
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 rivers run dry, baby, how would you feel?
[Verse 3]
Craze, baby, the rainbow's end
Mm, 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
[Bridge]
And when the owls cry in the night
And, baby, when the pines begin to cry
Oh, baby, baby, how do you feel?
If the rivers run dry, baby, how do you feel?
Ah, ah...
Baby, how do you feel?
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Ooh yeah, brave I endure
Ooh yeah, strong shields and lore
They can't hold the wrath of those who walk
And the boots of those who march
Baby, through the roads of time so long ago
[Outro]
Ooh, yeah
Ooh, ooh yeah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ooh, hoo
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ah
Going to California Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 achin' in my heart
Someone told me there's a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair
[Verse 2]
Took my chances on a big jet plane
Never let 'em tell you that they're all the same
Oh, the sea was red and the sky was grey
Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today
The mountains and the canyons start to tremble and shake
The children of the sun begin to awake (Watch out)
[Bridge]
Seems that the wrath of the gods
Got a punch on the nose and it's startin' to flow
I think I might be sinkin'
Throw me a line, if I reach it in time
I'll meet you up there where the path
Runs straight and high
[Verse 4]
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
Standin' on a hill in my mountain of dreams
Tellin' myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems (Mm, ah)
[Outro]
Ah, ah, ah, ah
When the Levee Breaks Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
If it keeps on raining, levee's going to break
If it keeps on raining, the levee's going to break
When the levee breaks, have no place to stay
[Verse 2]
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan, oh
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
It's got what it takes to make a monkey man leave his home
Oh well, oh well, oh well, ooh
[Bridge]
Oh, don't it make you feel bad
When you're trying to find your way home
You don't know which way to go
If you're going down south
They got no work to do
If you're going north to Chicago
Ah, ah, ah, hey
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Crying won't help you, praying won't do you no good
No, crying won't help you, praying won't do you no good
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move, ooh
[Verse 4]
All last night I sat on the levee and moaned
All last night, sat on the levee and moaned
Thinking about my baby and my happy home
Oh-ho
[Bridge]
Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah
Oh, oh
[Outro]
Going
I'm going to Chicago
Going to Chicago
Sorry, but I can't take you, ah
Going down, going down now
Going down, I'm going down now
Going down, going down
Going down, going down
Oh...
Going down, going down now
Going down, going down now
Going down, going down now
Going down, going, dow- dow- dow- dow- down, now
Ooh, ooh
