I should have quit you, long time ago. [X2]
I wouldn't be here, my children, down on this killin' floor.

I should have listened, baby, to my second mind [X2]
Everytime I go away and leave you, darling, you send me the blues way down the line.

Said, baby worry I can't keep you satisfied.
Let me tell you baby, you ain't nothin but a two-bit, no-good wive.

Went to sleep last night, worked as hard as I can,
Bring home my money, you take my money, give it to another man.
I should have quit you, baby, such a long time ago.
I wouldn't be here with all my troubles, down on this killing floor.

Squeeze me baby, till the juice runs down my leg. [X2]
The way you squeeze my lemon, I'm gonna fall right out of bed.

I'm gonna leave my children down on this killing floor.

(Led Zeppelin, "The Lemon Song" in Led Zeppelin II, 1969, Atlantic Records)

Misogyne, cynique, transgressive...

 Le groupe du « dirigeable en plomb », dirigé par Jimmy Page, monte sur le banc de l'improvisation sous le son de cette chanson et nous propose un blues bouleversant. Une petite curiosité: connaissez-vous la chanson « Stairway To Heaven ? » Ecoutez-la à l'inverse, sa mélodie varie et le texte est... Satanique.
