| if i had to pick the song that most discribes my family.. this would be in.. with my sister in jail and legal custity of her daughter shes been pumpin us for money and friends and all kinds of stuff... i can relate to the song very well... but when i think of zeppelin i think of this song right here... that and immigrent good songs.. im not as faund of stairway to heaven... takes too long to get going.. never the less anything made by zeppelin is respectable.. zeppelin has got to be the best band ever created! the question that still puzzles me.. how can they play they well when there were so burnt out on drugs and boose?? i know i can do anything when im high but look at the tv and laugh at the little cartoons :-P | |

| A song about betrayal. A redone traditional along the lines of Thin Lizzys Whiskey in the Jar. | |

| This is definately a great song and i love Zepplins Cover of it yes I said cover and i am fairly certian that it predates lead belly Quite a bit . This songs is actually in the John Wayne movie The fighting Kentuckians If you dont believe me check it out the woman is playing it on the guitar when every one is showing up at the french plantation for the party | |

| That's a really good definition Schr4nz.....Led Zeppelin believes in fate very heavily, and this is another example of a song which shows thier belief......No matter how much he did, he could not cun his way out of his death.... | |

| in my opinion, it might be about what can people (your friends, family).. to help you from adversity.. well, like u guys said.. it is an old british song and well it is other culture somehow.. | |
