Содержание
Unsurprisingly for Plant, this is a song about women. There are several theories that have been postulated as to what it’s about, the funniest being that it is about having a 17 year old girlfriend dump you. It is claimed that Robert once said that the song is about a woman who he used to mess around with in Texas, but this is not confirmed. The song though, is filled with jokes about the way Americans speak, with several extremely corny puns such as «U-Haul» instead of «Y’all», «Set down» instead of «Sit down» and so on. One particular line, «Hangin’ round for more, ah more» would appear to be play on the French word «amour» or the Spanish «amor», both meaning love. The word «Dungarees» also makes its only appearance in a Zeppelin song. The use of the word «U-HauL’ is a reference to U-Haul moving vans, as the girl involved is going to Texas and needs to move her belongings also.
Текст
Well I just got into town today To find my girl who's gone away She took the Greyhound at the General Store I searched myself I searched the town When I finally did sit down I find myself no wiser than before She said we couldn't do no wrong No other love could be so strong She locked up my heart in her bottom drawer Now she took my heart she took my keys From in my old blue dungarees And I'll never go to Texas anymore * Chorus: Now my baby's gone I don't know what to do She took my love and walked right out the door And if I ever find that girl I know one thing for sure I'm gonna give her something like she never had before I took her love at seventeen A little late these days it seems But they said heaven is well worth waiting for I took her word I took it all Beneath the sign that said "U-haul" She left angels hangin round for more Chorus I thought I had it all sewn up Our love, a plot, a pick-up truck But folks said she was after something more I never did quite understand All that talk about rockin' bands But they just rolled my doll right out the door Oh yeah, they just rolled my doll right out the door!
