Released October 22, 1969
Led Zeppelins second showcases their musical talents more than any of their other albums. Lots of solos on this album. Plus it got a little more studio time than the first album. It was recorded at different studios during their first tours but it spent a lot of time in post production.

WHAT IS AND WHAT SHOULD NEVER BE
And if I say to you tomorrow "Take my hand child, come with me, It's to a castle I will take you, Well what's to be they say will be". I catch the wind see us spin, And if you say to me tomorrow I catch the wind see us spin, So if you wake up with the sunrise I catch the wind see us spin, Hey-hoh! A-baby the wind won't blow, Ma-ma-ma-ma mama yeah. |
I shoulda quit you A long time ago. Oooh~ohh yeah yeah, Long time ago. I wouldn't be here my children, Down an' out on this killin' floor. I should've listened baby, Oh yeah. Ba__~yeah. People tell me baby, I went to sleep last night, Squeeze me babe, Yeah. Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Oh-oh~ooh! 5:56 I'm gonna leave my children |
If the sun refuse to shine, I would still be loving you. When mountains crumble to the sea, There will still be you 'n' me. Kind woman I give you my all. Little drops of rain whisper of the pain, Ohh-my, my. And so today my world it smiles, Alright yeah. If the sun refuse to shine, |
Hey fellas, have you heard the
news? You know that Annie's back in town? It won't take long, just watch an' see, All the fellas lay their money down. Her style is new but the face's the same As it was so long ago. But from her eye is a different smile, Like that of one who knows. Well it's been ten years and maybe more People talkin' all around I try to make love, it ain't no use. Hmm-work so hard I couldn't unwind, |
With a purple umbrella and a fifty
cent hat Livin', lovin', she's just a woman. Missus cool rides out in her aged Cadillac. Livin', lovin', she's just a woman. Come on baby, on the round-a-bout, Alimony, alimony payin' your bills, Come on baby, on the round-a-bout, Tellin' tall tales of how it used to be, Ahh hit it now. Hit it! Nobody hears a single word you say Come on baby, on a round-a-bout, Livin', lovin', she's just a woman. |
The leaves are fallin' all around, Time I was on my way, Thanks to you, I'm much obliged For such a pleasant stay But now it's time for me to go An' the autumn moon lights my way, For now I smell the rain and with it pain And it's headin' my way. Ah, sometimes I grow so tired, A-ramble on, Got no time for spreadin' roots, A-ramble on, I tell you no lies. Mine's a tale that can't be told, Ah, an' th'ain't nothin' I can do no. I guess I'll keep on ramblin', I gotta keep searchin' for my baby. Oooh my, my, |
Instrumental. |
Baby, Ooh baby Mmm gon' bring it on home to you. I've got my ticket, I've got that load, Got up, gone higher, all aboard. Mm'a take my seat, right way back Ooh-yeah I'll watch this train roll down the track. 'M gonna bring it on home, Bring it on home to you. Watch out, watch out make more room. Tried to tell you baby, Went a little walk downtown honey, Tell you pretty baby, Sweetest little baby Bring it on home. |
