1517 – Led Zeppelin – Black country woman (1975)


Escrita por Jimmy Page e Robert Plant, foi gravada em maio de 1972 no jardim do Stargroves para o disco Houses of the Holy, como desejo do grupo de gravar do lado de fora, em vez de um estúdio de gravação. Quase que foi abandonada quando um avião passou no final, mas decidiram usá-la no disco Physical graffitti. Além do disco, saiu também em compacto em 2 de abril de 1975, com Trampled under foot como Lado A. Trata-se de um rock and roll acústico. Se tornou uma música que a banda sempre tocava ao vivo. Robert Plant cantou e tocou gaita. Jimmy Page tocou violão, guitarra e slide guitar. John Paul Jones tocou orgao, baixo, e violão. John Bonham tocou bateria e percussão.


A letra:


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

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
Why' didn't have to tell me you'd be my blushin' bride

Hey, hey, mama, why you treat me mean
But that's alright, I know your sisters, too

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
But that's alright, I'd be the same way, too

Oh yeah, yeah, oh baby


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
