See my baby comin' down the track
Mm-betcha my baby's comin' back
Someday she get back to me
Whoa, and we gonna raise a family.

We're gonna groove, yeah, groove
And we're gonna groove, whoa
Well, my baby, we're gonna love, love, love
Until the break of day.

You just set my soul on fire.

And we're gonna love, love, love
Until the break of day.

We're gonna groove, yeah, groove,
And we're gonna groove
A-lonely, mama, yeah.

02. Poor Tom

Music by Jimmy Page, Robert Plant
Lyrics by Robert Plant
Here's a tale of Tom
Who worked the rivers run
His wife would cook his meals,
As he would check the wheels.

Singin' poor Tom, Seventh Son,
Always knew what's goin on.

Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom
And there ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom.

He worked for thirty years
Sharin' hopes 'n' fears
Dreamin' of the day
He could turn and say

Poor Tom, work's gone,
Lazin' out in the noonday sun.

Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom
And there ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom.

His wife was Emmie May
One of many games she played
When Tom was out of town,
She couldn't keep her dresses down.

A-poor Tom, Seventh Son,
Always knew what's goin on.

Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom
And there ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom.

And so it was one day
People got to Emmie May
A-Tom took a gun in his hand
And stopped all the 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?
And then wrote songs as well as he could be.

Ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom
And there ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom
And there ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom
And there ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom.

Hey
Keep-a truckin',
Keep-a truckin'
Yeah.

03. I Can't Quit You Baby

Music & lyrics by Willie 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, I, I think I'm gonna put you down for a while
I said you messed up my happy home
Made me mistreat my, my on and only, only, only child.

You built my hopes so high
Baby, then-a you let me down so low
You, ya built my hopes so high
Then ya let me down, ya let me down, ya let me down so low.
Don't you realize, sweet baby
Woman, I don't know, 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.

04. Walter's Walk

Music by Jimmy Page, Robert Plant
Lyrics by Robert Plant
Ooh, know I feel's so strange lookin' at the door
Ah-oh, tryin' hard to change and can't let go
Oh, cryin' tears of pain hurtin' more an' more
Oh, every day's the same as you walk the floor.

I'm walkin' the floor over you
I'm walkin' the floor.

Every heart that breaks is a heart that's cold
Oh, to the hand that takes your dreamless soul
Ah, is it long to wait, is there much to pay?
Oh-ah, sometimes it's hard waitin' 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, still know it's true.

Every tear that falls is a smile that's lost.
When you hear the call, can you count the cost?
And you stand alone, do you wonder how?
Can you step aside; does it matter now?

Every love that's changed (every love that's changed)
Spend it fully (spend it fully)
In the eyes of the night (in the eyes of the night),
Was it hard to see (was it hard to see)?
If it never fails (if it never), in spite of it all (all),
So you hide in the tears, enter Walter's walk.

Know it's true now
You know, it's true now, woo, yeah.

I'm walkin' the floor over you
I'm walking the floor.

Every tear that falls is a smile that's lost.
When ya 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?
Does it?
Now does it matter?
Now does it matter?

Ooh, yeah!
Ooh, yeah!
Ooh, little baby, don't you know?

Every tear that falls, does it matter now?
Does it matter now? Oh, yeah!
Oh, yeah! Oh, yes! Oh, yes!

05. Ozone Baby

Music by Jimmy Page, Robert Plant
Lyrics by Robert Plant
I hear ya knock on my door
I ain't been savin' this thing for ya, honey
Don't want ya ringin' my bell
It's too late for you to be my honey.

Ooh, it's my love
Ooh, it's my own true love
Ooh, it's my love
Ooh, it's my own true love, my own.

Don't want you wasting my time
Tired of ya doin' the things that you do
It's no use standing in line
Fall in line, you'd better from a queue.

And they say,
Ooh, it's my love
Ooh, it's my own true love
Ooh, it's my love
Ooh, it's my own true love, my, my own.

I could sail on the river run dead
But I know that it's done
I could wish for million years
But I know I'm not that young
I could cry within the darkness
And sail away
I could save a lifetime forever
But ya know, ya know, ya know what I say.

And I said,
Ooh, it's my love
Ooh, it's my own true love
Ooh, it's my love
Ooh, it's my own true love, my, my own.

Ooh, it's my love
Ooh, it's my own true love
Ooh, it's my love
Ooh, it's my own true love,
My own true love, my own true love,
My own true love, my own true love.

I said, ooh, it's my love
Ooh, it's my own true love
Ooh, it's my love
Ooh, it's my own true love, my own.

06. Darlene

Music by John Bonham, John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant
Lyrics by Robert Plant
Oh, yeah!

A-Darlene
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, Darlene
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, Darlene
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah!

Darlene
Oh-oh, Darlene
Oh-oh-oh, Darlene
Ooh-ooh-ooh
C'mon, baby, give a me, me some.

When I see you at that dance
With your tight dress on
What you got, it sure is fine
I wanna get me some.

Darlene
Ooh, baby, baby, Darlene
Ah, be my baby, Darlene
Oh, come on, baby
Come on, come on, come on, my babe.

Darlene
Ooh, ooh, Darlene
Hey, hey, Darlene
Oh, oh,
Come back 'n' be my, mmm, sweet little girl.

When I see you on the street
It makes my heart go flitter
I see you walkin' with all those guys
It makes me feel so sick.

Now I don't care what people say
And I don't care what they do
Sweet child, I gotta make you mine
You're the only thing that I want: you, yeah.

And, baby, baby, when you walk down the block
See the people fight
Whoa, child, y'know ya drive me wild
I gotta do it with you, come on try.

Ooh, baby, I got my car
I'll take you where it's fine
I'm gonna take you every place
D'ya wanna boogie-woogie-woogie-woogie-woogie that's fine?

I'm gonna boogie, Darlene
I'm gonna make ya, my girl
I'm gonna boogie, ah, Darlene
I'm gonna send you in another world.

'Cause I love, ah, Darlene
And I love you, yes, I do
I've been savin' all my money
I've been workin' all day long
I gotta give it all back to you.

Oh, but I love you, Darlene
Yes, I love you, yes, I do
I've been workin', it's true
I've been workin' every day
I've been tryin' a-get it home to you.

And I love you, Darlene
Yes, I love you, I do
I got a pink carnation and a pickup truck
A-savin' it all for you.

Oh, I love you!

Go!

Go, go, go, go, go!

Oh...

07. Bonzo's Montreux

Music by John Bonham
(Instrumental)

08. Wearing And Tearing

Music by Jimmy Page, Robert Plant
Lyrics by Robert Plant
It starts out like a murmur
And then it grows like thunder
Till it bursts inside-a you.
Try and 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's you wanna do, yeah.

You know, an' ya know, an' ya know
An' ya know, an' ya know, an' ya know
An' ya know, an' ya know, an' ya know.

Now don't you feel the same way?
Now don't you feel the same way?
But you don't know what to do, yeah.
No time for hesitatin'
Ain't no time for hesitatin'
All you got to do is move.
They say, you're feelin' blue, well
I've just found a cure
It's a thing you've gotta do, yeah.

You know, an' ya know, an' ya know
An' ya know, an' ya know, an' ya know
An' ya know, an' ya know, an' ya know.

Now listen:
Well, ya say your body's achin'?
Well, I know that it's achin'
Chill bumps come up on you.
Yeah, the fun and foolin'
I love the fun and foolin'
Just like foolin' after school.
An' then you ask for medication
Who cares for medication
When you've worn away the cure?

You know, an' ya know, an' ya know
An' ya know, an' ya know, an' ya know
An' ya know, an' ya know, an' ya know.

Hey-ha, hey-hey
Hey-ha, hey-hey
Hey-ha, hey-hey.

Go back to the country
Yeah, go back to the country
Feel a change is good for you.
When ya keep convincin'
Ah, don't keep convincin'
But what's that creepin' 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?

You know, an' ya know, an' ya know
An' ya know, an' ya know, an' ya know
An' ya know, an' ya know, an' ya know.

Hey-yeah! Hey-yeah!
Can feel it. Yeah!
Can feel it. Hey-yeah!
Feel it. Hey-yeah!
Feel it. Yeah!
Feel it. Hey-yeah!
Feel it. Oh!
Feel it.
Medication, a-medication, medication!
