Poor Tom Lyrics - Led Zeppelin

Here's a tale of Tom 

Who worked the rivers run 

His wife would cook his meals, 

As he would check the wheels. 

Singin' poor Tom, Seventh Son, 

Always knew what's goin on. 

Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom 

And there ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom. 

He worked for thirty years 

Sharin' hopes 'n' fears 

Dreamin' of the day 

He could turn and say 

Poor Tom, work's gone, 

Lazin' out in the noonday sun.

NEW SONG: Chris Brown - Don't Check On Me Lyrics ft. Justin Bieber 

Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom 

And there ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom. 

His wife was Emmie May 

One of many games she played 

When Tom was out of town, 

She couldn't keep her dresses down. 

A-poor Tom, Seventh Son, 

Always knew what's goin on. 

Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom 

And there ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom. 

And so it was one day 

People got to Emmie May 

A-Tom took a gun in his hand 

And stopped all the runnin' around. 

Poor Tom, Seventh Son, 

Gotta die for what you've done. 

Photos 

All those years of work are thrown away. 

To ease your mind, is that all you can say? 

But what about that grandson on your knee? 

And then wrote songs as well as he could be. 

Ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom 

And there ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom 

And there ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom 

And there ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom. 

Hey 

Keep-a truckin', 

Keep-a truckin' 

Yeah.
