@thetoughgetgoin The lyrics in the first verse are a variation on the 1929 song "The Girl I Love She Got Long Curly Hair" by Sleepy John Estes (who has co-writer credit on the Zeppelin song). Leadbelly probably lifted them from Estes or maybe Estes nicked them from Leadbelly. Those old blues guys were hard to keep track of! :-)

@longslidenyc I'm not calling them out or hating, just saying. I was listening to an old Leadbelly record, heard him mention his woman with long black wavy hair, and said "Heeeey I've heard that on a Zepp song before!!" I'm a huge fan of both and have no problem with it, as this is what blues artists do

@thetoughgetgoin At that point they were all about sampling classic blues riffs and themes. Evolution baby. But good knowledge on your part.

He got the idea for the girl with long black wavy hair from a Leadbelly song called Roberta
