The Rover Lyrics


The Rover Song Chart
  • "Rover" is old British slang for a wanderer. The lyrics are fitting to this definition. (thanks, Mason - Greenville, NC)
  • This began life as an acoustic piece. Jimmy Page and Robert Plant started writing it in 1970 at Bron-yr-Aur, the cottage in Wales they went to after a brutal US tour. The cottage had no electricity or running water.
  • Led Zeppelin recorded this at the Houses Of The Holy sessions. They didn't use it on that album, so they remixed it for Physical Graffiti.
  • Led Zeppelin never played this live, but during their 1977 tour of the United States, the band would often use the opening riff to segue into "Sick Again." (thanks, Chris - Whitesboro, NY)
  • The intro is very close to the Kinks track "Wicked Annabella" from their Village Green album. (thanks, John - Waterford, Ireland)
