Led Zeppelin - Travelling Riverside Blues (Official Music Video)



You're watching the official music video for Led Zeppelin - 'Travelling Riverside Blues'. Originally written by blues legend Robert Johnson, Led Zeppelin recorded their tribute at BBC studios in 1969, and released this promo video in 1990.


Led Zeppelin formed in 1968 and went on to become one of the most influential, innovative, and successful groups in modern music, having sold more than 300 million albums worldwide. The band rose from the ashes of The Yardbirds, when Jimmy Page brought in John Bonham, John Paul Jones, and Robert Plant to tour as The New Yardbirds. In 1969, Led Zeppelin released its self-titled debut which was produced by Page, as were all the subsequent albums. It marked the beginning of a 12-year reign, during which the group was widely considered to be the biggest and most innovative rock band in the world.





Lyrics


If your man get personal, want to have your fun

If your man get personal, want to have your fun

Best come on back to Friar's Point, mama, barrelhouse all night long


I got women's in Vicksburg, clean on into Tennessee

I got women's in Vicksburg, clean on into Tennessee

But my Friar's Point rider, now, hops all over me


I ain't gon' to state no color but her front teeth crowned with gold

I ain't gon' to state no color but her front teeth is crowned with gold

She got a mortgage on my body, now, layin' on my soul


Lord, I'm goin' to Rosedale, gon' take my rider by my side

Lord, I'm goin' to Rosedale, gon' take my rider by my side

We can still barrelhouse baby, on the riverside


Now you can squeeze my lemon 'til the juice run down my

'Til the juice rune down my leg, baby, you know what I'm talkin' about

You can squeeze my lemon 'til the juice run down my leg

That's what I'm talkin' 'bout, now

But I'm goin' back to Friar's Point, if I be rockin'to my head
