LYRICS

So long, darling - oh how I hate to see you go
So long, darling - how I hate to see you go
Say bye-bye to you baby
Ain't gonna let my happy home

So many sad, sad, sad years, baby, but I've had a lot of fun
So many sad, sad, sad years - I've had my fun
But the day I met you, darling
All my troubles have begun

I've got to leave you, baby - I don't care what you say
Leave you, darling - come back home one sunny day
Down the road, down the road I go
I'm going to find myself a little woman - people to look after all my cares

So long - baby, I hate to leave you this way
Baby, baby, so long - I sure do hate to leave this way
But when I come back home, yes
Baby, baby, you'll know I've been away

I don't think plant delivers his voice on any Zep songs, or solo, as well as he has done in this song. It is simply the most chilling demonstration ever of how his voice just RIPS through your soul, or at least mine.

Superb! Heard this for the first time a couple of weeks ago on "Hoochie Coochie Men" a compilation album of UK Blues and R&B. Thanks for posting it. Peace.
