Babe (I'm Gonna Leave You) Lyrics

Babe, I'm gonna leave you,
Tell you when I'm gonna leave you,
Leave you when ol' summer-time, summer comes a-rolling,
Leave you when ol' summer comes along.
Babe, that highway's a-callin',
That old highway's a-callin',
Callin' me to travel on, travel on out westward,
Callin' me to travel on alone.

Babe, I'd like to stay here,
You know I'd really like to stay here,
My feet start goin' down, goin' down that highway,
My feet start goin' down, goin' down alone.

Babe, I've got to ramble,
You know I've got to ramble,
My feet start goin' down, and I got to follow,
They just start goin' down, and I got to go.

(Bredon / Page / Plant)

Babe, baby, baby, I'm gonna leave you
I said baby, you know I'm gonna leave you
I'm leave you in the summertime
Leave you when the summer comes a-rollin'
Leave you when the summer comes along
Babe, babe, babe, babe, babe, babe, baby, mmm,
Baby, I don't wanna leave you
I ain't jokin' woman, I got to ramble
Oh, yeah, baby, babe, babe, I believin'
We really got to ramble
I can hear it callin' me the way it used to do, mmm
I can hear it callin' me back home, oh-oo-oh

Babe, oh, babe, I'm gonna leave you
Oh, baby, you know, I've really got to leave you
Oh I can hear it callin' me
I said don't you hear it callin' me the way it used to do
Ohhhhhhh

I know, I know
I know, I never, never, never, never, never, gonna leave you babe
But I got to go away from this place
I've got to quit you, yeah
Ooh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, ooooh
Oh, don't you hear it callin' me
Oh, woman, woman, I know, I know
It feels good to have you back again
And I know that one day baby, it's really gonna grow, yes it is
We gonna go walkin' through the park every day
Come what may, every day
Ohhh, mama, baba, mama babe
I'm gonna leave you, go away, ohh oh oh

It was good, sweet baby
It was really, really good
You made me happy every single day
But now I've got to go away, ohh, ohh ohh

Baby, baby, baby
That's when it's callin' me
I said that's when it's callin' me back home
