Black Country Woman Lyrics by Led Zeppelin

Led Zeppelin (Boxed Set 2)

1975

[Intro: Engineer, Jimmy Page & Robert Plant]
Shall we roll it, Jimmy?
We're rolling on, what, one?
No, one again?
*Airplane heard flying overhead*
Got to get this airplane off
Naw, leave it, yeah
[Verse 1: Robert Plant]
Hey, hey, mama, what's the matter here?
Hey, hey, mama, what's the matter here?
You didn't have to tell me that you love me so
You didn't have to love me, mama, let me go
Hey, hey, mama, what's the matter here?
You didn't have to make me a total disgrace
You didn't have to leave me with that beer in my face
Hey, hey, mama, what's the matter here?
That's alright, it's awful dog-gone clear
[Verse 2: Robert Plant]
Hey, hey, baby, why you treat me mean?
Oh, oh, baby, why you treat me mean?
You didn't have to crucify me like you did
You didn't have to tell me I was just your kid
Hey, hey, mama, why'd you treat me mean?
You didn't have say you'd always be by my side
You didn't have to tell me you'd be my blushing bride
Hey, hey, mama, why you treat me mean?
But that's alright, I know your sisters, too
[Verse 3: Robert Plant]
You didn't have to tell me that you love me so
You didn't have to leave me, mama, let me go
Hey, hey, mama, what is wrong with you?
You didn't have to leave me like a total disgrace
You didn't have to leave me with that beer on my face
Hey, hey, mama, what is wrong with you?
Oh, but that's alright, I'd be the same way, too
[Harmonica Solo]
Oh yeah, oh
Oooh, yeah
Oooh
[Verse 4: Robert Plant]
Now now now, you didn't have to crucify me like you did
You didn't have to tell me I was just your kid
Hey, hey, mama, what's the matter here?
You didn't have to tell me you would be my own
You didn't have to tell me, baby, let me go
Hey, hey, mama, what is wrong with you?
That's alright, I know your sister, too
Ooh, yeah yeah
Ooh yeah
Ooh, yeah yeah
Ooh, yeah yeah
Ooh yeah
Oh
[Outro: Robert ]
What's the matter with you, mama?
