A few days ago, there was some discussion about Led Zeppelin's
borrowings from the blues. Travelling Riverside Blues was mentioned as
having completely different music and, with the exception of the title and
part of one verse, being nothing like the Robert Johnson version. After
reading that message I was inspired to transcribe the lyrics to TRB, so
here are the lyrics to TRB with the original sources, where I
could find them. They are footnoted with different symbols that are
explained at the end. I apologize if the lines are divided incorrectly. It
was sort of difficult to tell where one ended and another began.


Travelling Riverside Blues

*Asked sweet mama
*Let me be her kid
*She said, "You might get hurt
*If you don't keep it hid"

Well 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 goin' to Rosedale
#Take my rider by my side
#Still barrelhouse
#If it's on the riverside, yeah
I know my baby
Lord, I said, is really sloppy drunk
I know my mama
Lord, a brownskin, but she ain't no plum

See my baby, tell her
Tell her hurry home
Had no lovin', since
My baby been gone
See my baby
Tell hurry on home
I ain't had, Lord, my right mind
Since my rider's been gone

Hey, she promises
She's my rider
I wanna tell you
She's my rider
I know you're mine
She's my rider
She ain't but sixteen
But she's my rider

#I'm goin' to Rosedale
#Take my rider by side
Anybody argue with me man
I'll keep them satisfied
%Well, see my baby, tell her
%Tell her the shape I'm in
Ain't had no lovin'
Lord, since you know when

(Guitar Solo)

Spoken: Why don't you come into my kitchen

+She's a kindhearted lady
+She studies evil all the time
+She's a kindhearted woman
+She studies evil all the time

#Squeeze my lemon
#'Til the juice runs down my leg
#Squeeze it so hard
#I'll fall right out of bed
#Squeeze my lemon
#'Til the juice runs down my leg

#Spoken: I wonder if you know what I'm talkin' about

#Oh, but the way that you squeeze it girl
#I swear I'm gonna fall right out of bed

Ah, she's a good rider
Hey yeah
+She's my kindhearted lady
#I'm gonna take my rider by my side
+I said her front teeth are lined with gold
+She's gotta mortgage on my body
+Gotta lien on my soul
She's my brownskin sugar plum
