Led Zeppelin - Poor Tom Lyrics

Sorry Howard, you're wrong. This rocks.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure part 8: JoJolion

prodigal son in zep sound :)

JOJO FANS FUCKING LEAVE GTFO

So I want you to burry my Lego house in your mansion, ok?

Great song, and great lyrics. Bonzo's steady beat is evocative of that train Tom probably heard in his head all day...

ITS A JOJO REFERENCE

Great song....

Ok, video. You have some years until the comments become property of the Jojo community. Good luck

don't understate the manga readers kid

this came out in 1980 not 90

Who said it came out in 1990?

Poor tom only saw what his eyes saw..

Who the hell is Jojo and why is everyone talking about Legos?

All these people commenting part8 references when this is also a part 1,2 and 7 reference

MAMA LUIGI
Well there are no Zeppelis in Part 8.

John Fahey on steroids!

Totally! This is "Sunflower River Blues" with lyrics and harp..

*THE BRANCH IS MINE!!!*

"What about that grandson on your knee?"

This is a great example of a mediocre song saved by insane musicianship.

took me about a year to get the drum groove down!

Rip Japanese Gary Coleman

Vance Chariot
That’s an advanced jojoke

Thats actually mojo reference

i dont know why this is my favorite but it is... going on 30 plus years

Real fans start singing the next song after this one ends.

I watched you JoJo weeaboos destroy so much with your senseless fuckin babble, but you stay away from Zep. Go fuck up The Vapors comment section

Nobody cares what you think bud

it's a jojo reference?

Song came out before JoJo so JoJo referenced this

Poor me

Call the police, somebody is killing the drums. Get an ambulance, we can save the side drum, but the bass has had the shite kicked out of it.

I love you Uncle Tom! Thanks for taking Cassie and I to the Orange County Fair with Paula and letting us stay until midnite!

Hamburger Hamlet on Adams was awesome! And funny!

What the hell is jojo

Wrong branch

this song is very clearly taken from prodigal son. and this version sounds too much like the stones version of prodigal son.

This song rocks loved this band since I was 7 wow ....still appreciate them actually love them,seen them in concert 3 times and I fell in love...

Tired of paying through the nose for the latest high street fashions?
Simply draw your clothes onto your body!
With an unlimited wardrobe, and ready for immediate action at all hours of the day, you'll be getting more women than you even have time for!

I don't know wtf JoJo is, but fuck off and enjoy Zeppelin, thank you.

Jojo is a series which uses musical references for characters, latest part had a character named Poor Tom which the creator used the song's story to make the character (sorta)

Eu e o silver fumando um com as breja na brisa poha

Who the fuck is JoJo?

A series, highly recommend it. Latest part had a character named Poor Tom

Kind of reminds me of Prodigal Son by the Stones on Beggars Banquet.

Fodastico zeppelin vou abrir uma gelada e enrola um da pazz😎

Here's a fact. Most tryhards shitting on jojo never heard this song (or any other underrated songs)till jojo mentioned it.

It's true but i'm glad it's expanding my music interest

And...?

pathetic track...let doing folk to someone able to do

Not as pathetic as your life

Sounds like John Bonham is following the snare beat with the base drum beat for beat. Any body know if thats what he's doing?

toxie vope No.. he is doing a steady RRLL on the snare, keeping time with the hi hat, and letting the bass drum do the lead. It's a blast to play.

Poor Tom

imagine starting ur day eating red carpet and ending that day by getting ur head shot off ur body

mannime
R.I.P Poor Tom, You stole the wrong fucking branch!
(On the bright side, Mamezuku Rai is still alive! Hooray!)

Paper moon king is such a troll stand

Damn, what were they thinking when they left this and Hey Hey What Can I Do off of LZIII when Hats off to Harper got included?

F whatever this jojo nonsense is. This is an underrated track by the pinnacle of rock bands.

palmsquad Then shouldn't u be glad it is getting more attention?

@Joel Garcia Ikr, Jojo sorta helps give attention to songs most people might not have heard

palmsquad
Imagine being close-minded and hypocritical

his wife was Anime

No wonder he shot her

so haunting

shut the fuck up about jojo you filthy weebs

If any Zeppelin song is underrated, this is it IMO. This thing has always fascinated me by its imagery, the way it tells its story, the sentimental turn at the end, and how the lyrics and music all move together seamlessly. really, just another day at the office for Zeppelin.

Whole album is very underrated.

When Tom was outta town she couldn't keep her dresses down......

Tom stood, a gun in his hand, and stopped all her running around

Has anybody already commented about the Annie may or the seventh son as in seventh rock human?

C is pretty sad sounding for a major chord

Only 4 can play this

Lyrics:

Here's a tale of Tom
Who worked the railroads long
His wife would cook his meal
As he would change the wheel
Poor Tom, seventh son,
Always knew what's goin' on
Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom
There ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom
Worked for thirty years
Sharing hopes and fears
Dreamin' of the day
He could turn and say
Poor Tom, work's done,
Been lazin' out in the noonday sun
Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom
Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom
His wife was Annie Mae
With any man a game she'd play
When Tom was out of town
She couldn't keep her dress down
Poor Tom, seventh son,
Always knew what's goin' on
Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom
Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom
And so it was one day
People got to Annie Mae
Tom stood, a gun in his hand
And stopped her runnin' around
Poor Tom, seventh son,
Gotta die for what you've done
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?
Them railroad songs, Tom would sing to me
Hey
(Keep-a truckin')

Gets really dark at the end

Vladshock thanks for the lyrics

Thank you

Drums in this are Da Bombham💣💣💣

What is JoJo?!?!

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is a Japanese Manga or Comic book. It references many American songs and this is one of them. We call them Jojo references.

A little late but one character "recently" was made, his name is Poor Tom and sorta holds the story behind the song

Part 8 has some weird characters and Stands.

L E G O

I think the best part of songs becoming jojo references is all the really confused commenters

Enlighten us please?

jojo is a comic and the writer/artist names all of the characters after songs and music artists, since its still being written more and more music references are being made and the following is just recently getting bigger in america

http://jojo.wikia.com/wiki/Poor_Tom this is the character with the namesake

GOD DAMNIT FUCKING JOJO

GOD DAMN WEEBS TAKING OVER ALL MY GOOD MUSIC

I FUCKING HATE THAT SHOW

Skorn it’s not because of the anime, it’s because of the manga

Fuck Jojo.

Nah, it’s great, and it enlightens people about some really great music

which one?

A'int this 'bout Poor Ol Tom??? What The Hell? Chill Children, Chill.....

Daryl Massey The reason there is so many people here is because of a series called JJBA, recently the creator named a character Poor Tom and usually when a character is named after a song many of the fans come flooding to the comments referencing it.

From about 2:17 to 2:44 is just PURE Led Zeppelin magic. They never missed. :-)

I'm glad they uploaded the 1993 CD version of the songs from Coda, I prefer this version to the 2015 version

What the hell is JoJo?

It has references from all over the world.

Best Boy Emporio Armani the song is british but whatever

@Wayne Stevens lol dont be salty bc a series brought us here, you should be happy bc we discovered this great song

ben miskoff
No no, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is a Japanese comic series that has heavily amounts of references to pop culture, rock and other genres of music, and accurate, detailed cultures from around the world. This song is made as a reference in JoJo by a minor antagonist character named Poor Tom.

Wayne Stevens
Ok boomer, keep crying

They should rename this track "headache song"

WHY? WHY? GROWN ASS KIDS......how about going to work and getting out of your mom's basement? It's a JoJo reference now....wtf ever that gay shit means.....our culture is so sad now.

The reason why you see comments like this is because there’s a manga called “Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure” and the writer uses musical references for his characters or their stands.

i dont understand all the jo jo references...as a led zep fan...this has always been my favorite song...what is this reference?

martywhitevan recently the creator named a character Poor Tom that’s why people are commenting JJBA related stuff here

the writer of the hit series jojos bizarre adventure is a massive music fan especially led zeppelin and he likes to name characters after songs,albums bands ect he recently named a character poor tom

In the series Poor Tom is a minor antagonist, a "human" made of Si that looks like a baby

There is a Guy named poor tom in a comic named Jojo as a refrence to this song

Said character is a baby that smoke cigarette and can control pressurization by burrying a lego White House

Thanks Hamon Beat and JoJo

This is not a JoJo reference. This is a timeless song written by the best rock band of all time.

But it’s not written by Queen

It is now boi

Michael Kurtz
Damn straight

I like jojos but jesus they need to stop referencing jojos everytime and then claiming that its there song now.

I completely Gay but,
That’s not how that works, nobody claims songs, quit being so close-minded and bitching about what’s going on, just let it happen

Can you guys stop it with the Jojokes

Zoda the Jojo Fan no

I REFUSE

@Zoda the Jojo Fan lol no x2

@Bip Bup You're about 10 months late too I guess... so congrats?

Insert Bonzo reference here.

Enthusiastic agreement added!

YALL
JOJOS
GOT
JOJOED

Time to bury my lego White House

Delta Alex Ozone Baby... Can't wait for that tp be said in the anime.

fr dude

A.....
Motherfucking......
Jojo Reference????

I'm glad this song's name was in the new chapter, it's really good.

IS THIS A RWBY REFERENCE.

Best Boy Emporio Armani how is it a rwby reference

Everything is a Rwby reference.

Dirt is a RWBY reference.

fun fact: poor tom is actually named after that one very specific background character from episodes 567 of rwby

thats a lot of episodes

Let get go of my lego

Ian Adamson lego my eggo

wario2255 you won’t get it it’s a reference

This is now a JoJo reference. <3

Great thing about America is that WE don't give a shit about what the rest of the world thinks.

Good riddance.

I came from xforts jojolion chapter review lol

Wayne Stevens Look, filtering out a whole country and considering every American to be ignorant is ignorant in and of itself, but don’t be a nationalist jackass either. Our leadership has been acting out of contrarianism for no good reason, and the rest of the world resents us for it, often rightfully so. Try not to respond to criticism with jingoistic crap, because it only makes us look worse. I’m just here because I love Led Zeppelin, and I love Jojo. Why do shitty partisan politics have to be everywhere?

@Genghis Kon true, not everyone here is a chode, those fools; theyre just currently feeling empowered. There will be a record of everything and im proud to let them say and do all the nonsense bullshit that happening. I think people dont see the long game and legacy.

HOLY SHIT
IS THIS A MOTHERFUCKING JOJO REFERENCE???

damn right we are

it is now.

How many comment sections have been destroyed by Jojo fans?

@Zoda the Jojo Fan nop. it's- because stone ocean isn't in anime.

More than the amount of times Kars celebrated his birthday

You mean jojofags

@No time for creative names just for games I hope the Pillar Men devour you alive

I30OmeRaNG DIO!! You bastard

A baby with a Maket smoking in a parking.....yeeeeah

Danahe Delgado Lego house.

Welcome to JoJo hell friend

vsprdctions *Heaven

Oh, don't mind me. Just bracing for the scheduled Jojo flood.

the Jojo fans are on their way...

not quite yet

@Alexander Korol ''Why are the JoJo fans taking so long?''

@Vazu This part isn't getting animated any time soon

@Alexander Korol I know but there are usually still way more JoJo fans than this. Also I was referring to when Kira said ''Why is heart attack taking so long?''

@Vazu oh, I get it now

*insert JoJo reference here*

chapter 70 hell yeah

Who is jojo?

Zack Harris Jojo Bizarre Adventure

Tom.. died of embarressement. Couldn"t get of bed to save himself. Singing songs all day long about the son and her offspring chasing a son all over town being a clown. Yetti again. Sadly a hiccup. See why columbus told it to sail on.

Tom died when one of the stand users who’d come to retrieve the grafted rokakaka branch betrayed him and shot him in the head

this song bumps really hard on a good set of house speakers

This would've been right at home on the third album.

@Wayne Stevens - Hey Wayne, you have my real name, and you're welcome to it. Hope you have better luck with it than I have had. My screen name MrSS8864 is a variation of "Smilin' Stevie" and a few random numbers. I can't smile anymore though - all of my teeth rotted and most of them fell out. I have just enough stumps left that I can't go by Gummy Dummy either. :-/

@Drogon Since I've been loving you doesnt really sound like a IV song. Even though it was recorded after, it' more of a LZ 1 song, considering its just raw blues

Compared to Hey Hey What Can I Do that's the way would have to go come on now be honest

It was but didn't make it until Coda

Jack Benton if only

extra FROM ZEP II

It was actually from the ZEP III sessions

top song of all time!!!!

that harmonica man

best song on Coda

Ozone Baby

Ozone baby

*FIGHTING HOLD*

Ozone Baby

@Just An English Comment Passing Through SONO CHI NO SADAME......

This song is one fine example of why i like Bonham so much.... Best Rock Drummer ever...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaSnMZ973V4

would have been great if Jim didn't add the electronics... not sure what he was thinking...

Best rock human

is your pic the damn requiem arrow?

@Fedor Nevsky I am a rock - John Bonham

Hell yeah this is my shit
