In My Time of Dying (Led Zeppelin)

In My Time Of Dying

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

Well, well, well, so I can die easy

Jesus, got to make you... sure know

And I see them in the field

And I hear them shouting under my feet

And I know it’s got to be real

Oh, Lord, deliver me  

All the wrong I’ve done

The Battle Of Evermore (Led Zeppelin)

The Battle Of Evermore

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 the horses’ thunder

Down in the valley blow,

I’m waiting for the angels of Avalon,

Waiting for the eastern glow.

The apples of the valley hold,

The seas of happiness,

The ground is rich from tender care,

Repay, do not forget, no, no.

Oh,-------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 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 ring wraiths 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 mornin’ 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.

Black Dog (Led Zeppelin)

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.

*Ah yeah, ah yeah, ah, ah, ah.

 Ah yeah, ah 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 thru my head.

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.

Hey, baby, oh, baby, pretty baby,

Tell me what you do me now.

(Repeat)

Didn’t take too long ‘fore I found out

What people mean my down and out.

Spent my money, took my car,

Started tellin’ 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.

* Chorus

All I ask for when I pray,

Steady rollin’ woman gonna come my way.

Need a woman gonna hold my hand

And tell me no lies, make me a happy man.

Rock And Roll (Led Zeppelin)

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 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.

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.

Open your arms, opens your arms,

Open your arms, baby, let my love come running in.

It’s been a long time, been a long time,

Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.

Stairway To Heaven (Led Zeppelin)

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, 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 ev’rything 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.
