Traveling Riverside Blues Songtext
von Led Zeppelin

Hey
That′s right

Asked sweet mama, let me be her kid
She said, "You might get hurt if you don't keep it hid
Well, I, I know my baby if I see her in the dark"
I said I know my rider if I see her in the dark

Now, I′m going to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
Still barrel house, but it's on the riverside, yeah
I know my baby, Lord, I said, is really sloppy drunk
I know my mama, Lord, a brown-skin, but she ain't no plum
Uh-huh, see my baby, tell her, tell her hurry home
Had no loving since my baby been gone, yeah
See my baby, tell her hurry on home

I ain′t had, Lord, my right mind since my rider′s been gone
Hey, mama says, "She's my rider"
I want to tell you she′s my rider
I know you're mine, she′s my rider
She ain't but 16, but she′s my rider


I'm going to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
Anybody ask you and me met, I keep them satisfied
But I see my baby, tell her, tell her to shake my milk
Ain't no love, Lord, since you nowhere
Ah, yeah
My, my, my, my-

Why won′t you come in my kitchen?

She′s a kind-hearted lady
She studies evil all the time
She's a kind-hearted woman
She studies evil all the time
Squeeze my lemon ′til the juice runs down my leg
Squeeze it so hard I fall right out of bed
If you squeeze my lemon 'til the juice runs down my leg
I wonder if you know what I′m talking about
Oh, but the way that you squeeze it, girl
I swear, I'm going to fall right out of bed

Ah, she′s a good rider
Hey, yeah
She's my kind-hearted lady
I'm going to take my rider by my side, yeah
I said her front teeth are lined with gold
She′s got a mortgage on my body, got a lien on my soul
She′s my brown-skin sugar plum
