Led Zeppelin-Nobody's Fault But Mine

Track #1 on side 2. For some reason, I always thought this sounded like a song that should be on Led Zeppelin I.
I'm not sure why ._.

Lyrics:
Nobody's fault but mine
It's nobody's fault but mine
Try to save my soul tonight
Oh, it's nobody's fault but mine

Devil he told me to roll
Devil he told me to roll roll roll roll
How to roll the log tonight
Nobody's fault but mine

Brother he showed me the gong
Brother he showed me the ding dong ding dong
How to kick that gong to life
Oh, it's nobody's fault but mine

Got a monkey on my back
M-M-Monkey on my back back back back
Gonna change my ways tonight
Nobody's fault but mine

I will get down rollin' tonight
N-N-N-Nobody's fault.

FYI for all those who think Led Zeppelin "stole" songs; well they did. But a great artist once said, "Good artists copy, great artists steal." All blues songs are based off other blues songs and it was actually considered a complement back then to a blues artist when another artist used part of there song. Led Zeppelin is a very bluezy band. They don't ever deny the fact that they "stole" parts from other songs. However, they made it their own and it turned out absolutely-fuckin-amazing.

@fastacid714 Nope, Jimi Hendrix is awesome though.

@bobdull420 Just to prove your point, Howlin' Wolf made more money after L Z began using his songs as inspiration then he did before L Z's existence.

I agree with the OP, this does sound like it should be on the first album. Presence was a back to basics jam album, and was recorded and produced @ the same speed as Zeppelin 1.

As a side note, this album(zeps lowest seller) has sold more than the Stones best seller(exile).

Give a group of chimps typewriters and they'll eventually write a great book...same with music. You can say artists steal from one another, but all music started somewhere at some time, so technically I guess you can say every artist who ever wrote a song and played it stole from someone before them. That said, many times an artist will put their own touch on the song, essentially making it their own in a way..
