Bron-Y-Aur Stomp Lyrics
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 natural 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.
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.
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.
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?
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 natural 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.

Robert Plant himself refers to this song as "as song about my dog." He also screams the dog's name "Strider" after the song on the DVD. It is definitely about his dog. Like many of Plant's works the dog's name references the Lord of the Rings.
There is MUCH more to Led Zeppelin than Stairway...
This song is about Plant's dog "Strider". It is a blue merle Collie with blue eyes. The dog can be seen in the movie "The Song Remains The Same". In the beginning there are scenes with each band member. There are a lot of breeds that can have a red or blue merle colour. "Old Shep" is a reference to an old Elvis Presley song ("Old Shep"), where a boy has to put down his dog, because it was too old. Plant promises Strider that he won't let it happen to him.
Correction: From Wikipedia: „Old Shep" is a song written and composed by Red Foley and Arthur Williams in 1933, about a dog Foley owned as a child. In reality, the dog, poisoned by a neighbor, was a German shepherd called "Hoover." Foley first recorded the song in 1935, and again in 1941 and 1946.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

this is one of Zeppelin's finer pieces, and is about Plant's dog Strider and the relationship between man and man's best friend.

@metalkathy @kukerdan actually, while the song is about Plant's dog Strider. The name Strider comes from Aragorn's nickname in Lord of the Rings!

one day when i get a dog im gonna call him Strider
I assume he named his dog after the Strider (Aragorn) from Lord of the Rings...Am I right?
Also, Stairway to Heaven is awesome (Listen to it in reverse...he..he..he), but everytime I here a different recording he sings it different..
OK, a Blue Merle is a collie, typical of that area of Wales and Shropshire (just over the border) A Wall eyed Merle is one with one blue and one brown eye, so a blue eyed seems evident. They are beautiful dogs and the song, for me, evokes the whole area...wild and wonderful.
Good ol' days in the countryside with your dog.
It's about his dog?! Oh, God, I'm a total sap. I really thought it was a straightforward love song ... Whatever. This song rules and it's the highlight of their third album. By the way, is "The Song Remains The Same" a biopic of Led Zep?
