The Rover Lyrics

Send "The Rover" Ringtone to your Cell

I've been to London, seen seven wonders
I know to trip is just to fall
I used to rock it, sometimes I'd roll it
I always knew what it was for

There can be no denyin'
That the wind 'll shake 'em down
And the flat world's flyin'
There's a new plague on the land

If we could just join hands
If we could just join hands
If we could just join

Traversed the planet when heaven sent me
I saw the kings who rule them all
Still by the firelight, and purple moonlight
I hear the rested river's call

And the wind is cryin'
From a love that won't grow cold
My lover, she is lyin'
On the dark side of the globe

If we could just join hands
If we could just join hands
If we could just join hands
Yea-yeah, yea-yeah, yea-yeah, yea-yeah
yea-yeah, yea-yeah, yea-yeah
Do it now

You got me rockin' when I ought to be a-rollin'
Darlin', tell me, darlin', which way to go
You keep me rockin', baby, then you keep me stallin'
Won't you tell me, darlin', which way to go
That's right

Oh, how I wonder, oh, how I worry
And I would dearly like to know
I've all this wonder of earthly plunder
Will it leave us anything to show

And our time is flyin'
See the candle burnin' low
Is the new world rising
From the shambles of the old

If we could just join hands
If we could just join hands
If we could just, if we could just
If we could just, if we could just
If we could just join hands, hands
That's all it takes, that's all it takes

That's all it takes, all it takes
Yea-yeah, yea-yeah, yea-yeah, yea-yeah
Yea-yeah, yea-yeah, yea-yeah, yea-yeah
Yea-yeah, yea-yeah, yea-yeah, yea-yeah, yea-yeah
Ooh, yeah
Aah, aah, aah
That's right, that's right, that's right, that's right

This song is so overlooked when Led Zeppelin songs are discussed. It is one of my favorites off the Physical Graffiti album.

I know with some songs, Plant's vocal recordings were 'sped up' a bit so that the vocals were at a higher pitch, or something like that, (My dad calls it the "Chipmunks Effect"), such as in the tune "The Song Remains the Same." I haven't found any mention of that with this song, but, especially near the end of the song, it sounds like that may have been done in this song, too.

this song doesn't get much attention, but it reveals Zeppelin at their raw best.

All times are in Greenwich Mean Time.
The time is now 17:43:40.
