Travelling Riverside Blues lyrics help?


Recommended Posts

Just listened to it 5 times to add it to my big book of Zep lyrics (where I am obsessing over every word). 2 lines that confuse me. Let me know what you all hear. 

First is at 1:33. Is it "Had no lovin’ since, my baby been gone yeah" or "....since my baby get born yeah"?  I hear "get born" but that line doesn't make sense. 

Second is at 1:46. Is it "I ain't had no my right mind" or "I ain't hittin on my right mind"? 

The first lines of both those come from my Zep Official Tab coffee Table book. 

Any help is always appreciated.

I always assumed "born". Had no lovin' since my baby been born - yeah. Makes sense. He's got a new kid, getting less lovin' and in a full on blues context. Plus, just sounds like born to me.

Or it could be gone...

Great take on it. I clearly hear born too. It didn't make sense to me cause I assumed 'baby" was his woman. Thanks for your input.

Pretty sure the first line is "Had no lovin' since my baby get born" -- he's referring to the birth of his child.

As for the other line, I think it's "I ain't had, Lord, my right mind, since my rider's been gone" (or possibly "I ain't been in my right mind").

Thanks for your ears. Much appreciated
