It's time I was on my way
Thanks to you I'm much obliged
For such a pleasant stay
But now it's time for me to go
The autumn moon lights my way
For now I smell the rain
And with it pain
Ah, sometimes I grow so tired
But I know I've got one thing I got to do
Ramble on
And now's the time, the time is now
To sing my song
I'm goin' 'round the world, I got to find my girl
On my way
I've been this way ten years to the day
Ramble on
Gotta find the queen of all my dreams
Got no time for spreadin' roots
The time has come to be gone
And thoough our health we drank a thousand times
It's time to ramble on
Ramble on
And now's the time, the time is now
To sing my song
I'm going 'round the world, I got to find my girl
on my way
I've been this way ten years to the day
I gotta ramble on
I gotta find the queen of all my dreams
I ain't tellin' no lie
Mine's a tale that can't be told
My freedom I hold dear
How years ago in days of old
When magic filled the air
'T was in the darkest depths of Mordor
I met a girl so fair
But Gollum, and the evil one
crept up and slipped away with her
Her, her, yeah
Ain't nothing I can do, no
I guess I keep on rambling
I'm gonna, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sing my song (I gotta find my baby)
I'm going 'round the world (I gotta ramble on sing my song, gotta work my way around the world baby, baby)
Ramble on, yeah
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, my baby
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doodoo doodoo doodoo doodoo doodoo
I gotta keep searching for my baby (baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby)
I gotta keep-a-searchin' for my baby (my, my, my, my, my, my, my baby)
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (my, my, my, my, my, my baby)
Oh, I can't find my bluebird (my, my, my, my, my, my, yeah)
I'd listen to my bluebird sing but I, I can't find my bluebird (yeah, I keep rambling baby)
I keep rambling baby (I keep, I keep, I keep)
I keep rambling baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
The lyrics of "Ramble On" by Led Zeppelin revolve around a musician’s desire to travel and roam the world while searching for the queen of his dreams, who he met once in the depths of Mordor but was snatched away by Gollum and the “evil one.” The opening lines of the song suggest that the musician is bidding farewell to someone who has hosted him and made his stay pleasant: “Leaves are falling all around, it's time I was on my way. Thanks to you I'm much obliged, for such a pleasant stay. But now it's time for me to go…” Following these lines, the musician reveals a foreboding emotion – he can “smell the rain” coming, with the “pain” and darkness that it represents. This prompts his desire to embark on a journey around the world in search of his true love.
As the song progresses, it becomes apparent that the musician has been traveling for over a decade in pursuit of his lost love. Throughout his wanderings, he has enjoyed freedom and lived a life true to himself, but now he feels the need to put down roots and settle down. However, the song reveals that he is not ready to do so just yet; he still wants to explore and find the woman of his dreams. The refrain, “Ramble on,” reflects his constant desire to keep moving and searching for what he truly wants. The final lines express his belief that his search for his “bluebird” will continue, and he will keep “rambling” until he finds her.

Leaves are falling all around
The season is changing and nature is shedding its leaves
It's time I was on my way

For now I smell the rain
I can smell the rain, which is a sign that there is trouble ahead
And with it pain
The rain is a symbol of pain and suffering that I must face
And it's headed my way
I know that the pain and suffering is coming towards me
Ah, sometimes I grow so tired
Sometimes I feel exhausted and weary from all the traveling and searching
But I know I've got one thing I got to do
Despite my exhaustion, I know that I have a goal to accomplish
Ramble on
I must keep moving forward and wandering in search of my goals

I ain't tellin' no lie
I am being truthful in my story
Mine's a tale that can't be told
My story is so complex and multifaceted that it cannot be easily explained
My freedom I hold dear
I value my freedom and independence above all else
How years ago in days of old
In the past, a long time ago
When magic filled the air
When the world was full of wonder and enchantment
'T was in the darkest depths of Mordor
It happened in a place that was very dark and dangerous
I met a girl so fair
I met a beautiful woman
But Gollum, and the evil one crept up and slipped away with her
But a dangerous and evil creature took her away from me
Ain't nothing I can do, no
There is nothing I could do to prevent it from happening
I guess I keep on rambling
I will continue to travel and search for my true love
Sing my song (I gotta find my baby)
Expressing myself through music is my way of coping with my journey to find my true love
I gotta find the queen of all my dreams
My ultimate goal is to find the perfect woman who is the queen of my dreams
I ain't tellin' no lie
I am being truthful and honest in my journey and experiences
I gotta keep searching for my baby
I will continue to search for my true love no matter how difficult the journey may be
Oh, I can't find my bluebird
I am struggling to find my true love and it feels like my search is fruitless
I keep rambling baby
I will continue to travel and search for my true love, no matter how long it takes

When I was 25 I was diagnosed with cancer. Going through four rounds of chemo all I could do is sit in that chair and listen to led. Now I’m 30 and still rambling on.
