LED ZEPPELIN III

IMMIGRANT SONG Two, three, four. Ah~ah~ahhh-ah!. Ah~ah~ahhh-ah!. We come from the land of the ice and snow, From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow. Hammer of the Gods Will drive our ships to new lands To fight the horde, and sing and cry: "Valhalla I am coming." On we sweep with, with threshing oar. Our only goal will be the western shore. Ah~ah~ahhh-ah!. Ah~ah~ahhh-ah!. An' we come from the land of the ice and snow, From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow. How soft your fields so green Can whisper tales of gore, Of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords. On we sweep with threshing oar. Our only goal will be the western shore. So now you better stop And rebuild all your ruins. For peace and trust can win the day Despite of all your losing. Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh. Ah hah hah hah hah hah. Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh.
FRIENDS Bright light almost blindin', Black night still there shinin', I can't stop, keep on climbin' Lookin' for what I knew. Had a friend, she once told me "You got a love, you ain't lonely", Now she's gone an' left me only Lookin' for what I knew. Mmm I'm tellin' you now, The greatest thing you ever can do now, Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now, It's very easy just-a. Met a man on the roadside cryin', Without a friend there's no denyin' You're incomplete, there'll be no findin' Lookin' for what you knew. So anytime somebody needs ya, Don't let 'em down, although it grieves ya, Some day you'll need someone like they do Lookin' for what you knew. Mm, mmm I'm tellin' you now, The greatest thing you ever can do now, Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now, It's very easy just-a. Ohhh-yeah~ahhh-nah. Mahh-ma. Mahh-ma. Mahh-ma. Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mahh. I'm tellin' you now, The greatest thing you ever can do now, Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now, It's very easy. It's very easy. It's very easy. It's easy~yeah~ah~yeah~ahh-yeah.
CELEBRATION DAY Her face is cracked from smilin', All the fears that she's been hidin' And it seems that pretty soon Everybody's gonna know. And her voice is sore from shoutin', Cheerin' winners who are losin' And she wonders if their days are few And soon they'll have to go. My, my, my, I'm so happy, I'm gonna join a band yeah. We gonna dance and sing in celebration. We're in the promised land. She hears them talk of new ways To protect the home she lives in Then she wonders what it's all about When they break down the door. Her name is Brown or White or Black, You know her very well. Ya hear her cries of mercy As the winners toll the bell. My, my, my, I'm so happy, I'm gonna join a band yeah. We gonna sing and dance in celebration. We're in the promised land. Oh there is a train that leaves the station, Headin' for your destination, But the price you pay to nowhere Has increased a dollar more. Yes it has. And if you walk you're gonna get there Although it takes you that little longer And when you see it in the distance You will wring your hands and moan. Ohhh~yeah-moan. Ohhh~yeah~yeah~yeah~yeah~yeah moan, moan. You're gone. You're gone, get gone yeah. You're gone yeah. Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma you are gone. You are gone. You're gone yeah. If you walk you're gonna get there Although it takes a little longer An' when you see it in the distance You will wring your hands and moan.
SINCE I'VE BEEN LOVING YOU Oh! Working from seven To eleven every night It really makes life a drag, I don't think that's right. I've really been the best, the best of fools. I did what I could yeah Because I love you baby, how I love you darlin', How I love you baby, my I love you girl, little girl. A-baby since I've been lovin' you yeah, I'm about to lose my worried mind, ahhh-yeah. Everybody tryin'a tell me That you didn't mean me no good. I've been tryin'. Lord!

OUT ON THE TILES As I walk down the highway All I do is sing this song And a train that's passin' my way helps The rhythm move along. There is no doubt about the words are clear, The voice is strong, It's oh so strong. Just a simple guy An' I live from day to day. A ray of sunshine melts my frown And blows my blues away. There's nothin' more that I can say But on a day like today I'll pass the time away And walk a quiet mile with you. All I need from you is all your love. All ya gotta give to me is all your love. All I need from you is all your love. All ya gotta give to me is all your love. Ooh yeah. Ooh yeah. Ooh yeah. Ooh yeah. I'm so glad I'm livin', Stop. I'm gonna tell the world I am. I got me a fine woman Who says that I'm her man. A-one thing that I know for sure, Gon' give her lotta lovin' Like nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody can. Standin' in the noon-day sun Tryin' to flag a ride. People go and people come, See my rider right by my side. It's a total disgrace, They set the pace, It must be a race. The best thing I can do is run. All I need from you is all your love. All ya gotta give to me is all your love. All I need from you is all your love. All ya gotta give to me is all your love. Ooh yeah. Ooh yeah. Ooh yeah. Ooh yeah. Hey. Ahh-yeah. Ahh-yeah. Ah-yeah. Ohh drive my van I said I'd keep on walk. All I bloody said was "keep on walk". Ooh yeah. Ooh yeah. Ooh yeah. Ooh yeah. Ooh yeah. Ooh yeah. Ahh-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah-yeah~yeah. Ahh-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah-yeah~yeah.

TANGERINE One, two... One, two, three, four, one, two. Measuring a summer's day. I only find it slips away to grey. The hours, they bring me pain. Tangerine, tangerine, Living reflections from a dream. I was her love, she was my queen And now a thousand years between. Thinking how it used to be. Does she still remember times like these? To think of us again, and I do. Tangerine, tangerine, Living reflections from a dream. I was her love, she was my queen And now a thousand years between.
THAT'S THE WAY I don't know how I'm gonna tell you I can play with you no more. I don't know how I'm gonna do what mama told me My friend, the boy next door. I can't believe what people sayin': You gonna let your hair hang down. I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long. You're in the darker side of town. An' when I'm out I see you walkin'. Why don't your eyes see me? And could it be you've found another game to play? A-what did mama say to me? That's the way. Ohh that's the way it oughta be yeah, yeah. Mama said that's the way it oughta stay~yeah, yeah. Oooh. And yesterday I saw you standing by the river, And weren't those tears that filled your eyes? And all the fish that lay in dirty water dyin', Had they got you hypnotized? And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers But all that lives is born to die. And so I say to you that nothing really mattered An' all you do is stand and cry. I don't know what to say about it When all your ears have turned away, But now's the time to look and look again at what ya see. Is that the way it oughta stay? That's the way. That's the way it oughta be. Whoah don't you know now. Mama said, mama said that's the way it's gonna stay yeah. Ahh. Ahh~ooh-ahhh~ahhh~ahhh~ahhh. Ahhh.
BRON-Y-AUR STOMP Ahh caught you smilin' at me, That's the way it should be Like a leaf is to a tree, so fine. Ahh all the good times we had, I sang love songs so glad, Always smilin' never sad, so fine. As we walk down the country lanes I'll be singin' a song, you hear me callin' your name. Hear the wind whisper in the trees, Tellin' mother nature 'bout you an' me. Well if the sun shines so bright Or on our way it's dark as night, The road we choose is always right, so fine. Ahh could any love be so strong When so many loves go wrong. Will our love go on and on and on and on and on and on? As we walk down the country lanes I singin' a song, hear me callin' your name. Hear the wind whisper in the trees, Tellin' mother nature 'bout-a you an' me. My, my la la la. C'mon now it ain't too far. Tell your friends all around the world Ain't no companion like a blue eyed merle. C'mon now well let me tell ya What you're missin', missin' 'round them brick wall. So of one thing I am sure, It's a friendship so pure, Angels singin' all 'round my door, so fine. Yeah, ain't but one thing to do, Spend my natural life with you, You're the finest dog I knew, so fine. When you're old and your eyes are dim There ain't no 'Old Shep' gonna happen again. We'll still go walkin' down country lanes, I'll sing the same old song, hear me call your name.
