Poor Tom
Page, Plant

Here's a tale of Tom
Who worked the rivers run
His wife would cook his meat
But he wouldn't care to eat
Poor Tom, Seventh Son, Always knew what's goin on
Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom
There ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom
Worked for thirty years
Sharin' hopes and 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
Ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom
His wife was Ellie May
One of many games she played
When Tom was out of town
She couldn't keep her dress down
Poor Tom, Seventh Son, always knew what's goin on
Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom
Ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom
And so it was one day
People got to Ellie May

(again, I'm open to suggestions)

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 railroad song is ... he could be
^^^ (any ideas?)
Ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom
Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom
Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom
There ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom
Keep-a Truckin'
Keep-a Truckin'

I Can't Quit You Baby (Live)
Willie Dixon

I Can't Quit You, Baby,
So I'm gonna put you down for awhile.
I said I can't quit you, baby,
I guess I gotta put you down for awhile.
Said you messed up my happy home,
Made me mistreat my only child.
Yessir, you did!
Said you know I love you, baby,
My love for you I could never hide.
Oh, you know I love you, baby,
My love for you I could never hide.
Oh, when I feel you near me little girl
I know you are my one desire.
When you hear me moaning and groaning, baby,
You know it hurts me deep down inside.
When you hear me moaning and groaning, baby,
You know it hurts me deep down inside.
Oh, when you hear me, honey, baby,
You know you're my one desire.
Yes, you are.

Walter's Walk
Page, Plant

Ooooh...oh it feels so strange to be at the door
oooh...tryin hard to change but can't let go
oooh...cryin' tears of pain and more and more
oooh...everyday is the same as the one before
I'm walkin the floor over you
I'm walkin the floor
Every heart that breaks is a heart that's gold
To the hand that takes your dream that's sold (that's old?)
Oooh...Is it long to wait is it much too late?
oooh...Sometimes it's hard when you wanted the pain
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
you know it's true
Everyday the ??? smile is gone
when you hear the call can you count the cards?
And to say the longer you only have
Can you step inside does it matter now
Every love that's ?????????
Can't hide in the light for a heart ???
Every day of ????
She was smilin' a tear at her waters fall ??
you know it's true
you know it's true now
oooh yeah
I'm walkin the floor over you
I'm walkin' the floor
Every tear that's fall. ?? ..smile is warm
When you hear the call can you count to ???
Can you stand the love you want ???
Can you step aside
Does it matter now?
Does it matter now?
Does it matter now?
ooh yeah
Every tear that's fall... does it matter now
does it matter now oh yeah!
oh yeah!
oh yes!

Wearing and Tearing
Page, Plant

It starts out like a murmur
Then it grows like thunder
Until it bursts inside of you
Try to 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 you want to do
Ya know, ya know, ya know...
Don't you feel the same way?
Don't you feel the same way?
But you don't know what to do
No time for hesitatin'
Ain't no time for hesitatin'
ll you got to do is move
They say you're feeling blue, well
I just found a cure
It's a thing you gotta do, yeah
know, ya know, ya know...
Now listen:
You say your body's aching?
I know that it's aching
Chill bumps come up on you
Yeah, the funny fool
I love the funny fool
?Just like foolin' after school?
And then you ask for mediciation
Who cares for medication
When you've worn away the cure
Ya know, ya know, ya know...
Go back to the country
yeah, go back to the country
Feel a change is good for you
When you keep convincin'
Ah, don't keep convincin'
What's that creeping 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?
Ya know, ya know, ya know...
Do your dance do your dance do your dance
Oooooh, medication
Medication!, Medication!
