Ah caught you smiling at me,
That's the way it should be,
Like a leaf is to a tree, so fine.
Ah all the good times we had,
I sang love songs so glad
Always smiling, never sad, so fine.

[Chorus]
As we walk down the country lanes,
I'll be singing a song,
Hear me calling your name.
Hear the wind within the trees,
Telling Mother Nature 'bout you and me.

Well if the sunshine's so bright,
Or on our way it's darkest night
The road we choose is always right, so fine.
Ah can your love be so strong
When so many loves go wrong
Will our love go on and on and on and on and on and on?

[Chorus]

My, my la de la come on now it ain't too far,
Tell your friends all around the world,
Ain't no companion like a blue eyed merle.
Come on now well let me tell you,
What you're missing, missing, 'round them brick walls.
So of one thing I am sure,
It's a friendship so pure,
Angels singing all around
My dog is so fine.
Yeah, ain't but one thing to do
Spend my nat'ral life with you,
You're the finest dog I knew, so fine.
When you're old and your eyes are dim,
There ain't no old Shep gonna happen again,
We'll still go walking down country lanes,
I'll sing the same old songs,
Hear me call your name.

    General Comment:I've really started liking this song lately after getting Led Zeppelin III and the DVD. Great guitar playing by Jimmy. It is so rad ass when Robert Plant yells "Strider" at the end of this song on the DVD. It made me finally realize it's about his dog. The ending's kinda poignant talking about how they'll still be going on walks and so forth when the dog is old. Reminds me of this little dog we have at work named Trixie. She is old, her eyes are dim, and we all love her very much. Does anyone know if Strider was still alive when they performend the song at Earl's Court(1975). Robert shouts his name as if summoning him from the grave...It's so cool!!

    General Comment:Awesome song. I have a collie who has one blue eye, so whenever we go for a walk, I sing this song to her. :)

    General Comment:There was a children' TV show that came out in the 1950's on the BBC channel, in the British Isles. It was called Blue Peter. On the show it had a merle(coloration) border collie. Its name was Shep. I don't know where Bron-Yr-Aur stomp comes from...maybe it was the episode for the series when Shep was introduced?

    General Comment:GREAT SONG!! im pretty sure the songs about his dog, Strider (Aragorn) named after the ranger from The Lord Of The Rings. but i also think this song could be about loving a girl too, thats what i originaly thought when i heard it for the first time. i love how Plant has so many references to The Lord Of The Rings, there are many othere songs, like Achillies Last Stand that have these references...
    and for you people that think Stairway To Heaven is the best song ever.. YOU ARE WRONG! im sick of people refering to Staiway or even Kashmir when talking about Zeppelin.. its soo annoying.. any true fan knows theres sooo much more to Zeppelin then just those few well known song..
