The band was originally formed in 1968 by guitarist Jimmy Page under the name "The New Yardbirds," based on Page's previous band, The Yardbirds. While The New Yardbirds arose at first simply to fulfill some performance commitments booked in Scandinavia before the original band's break-up, Page attempted to create a rock-supergroup out of the new band, which would have been composed of the Yardbirds' own Page and Jeff Beck, The Who's Keith Moon and John Entwistle(who were considering leaving their band), and possibly Steve Winwoodor Steve Marriott. After Page's attempt at forming a supergroup failed, Page filled the band with vocalist Robert Plant, drummer John Bonham and former Yardbirds bassist Chris Dreja. After Dreja left early in the project to become a photographer (and would later take the photograph that appeared on the back of the group's debut album), he was replaced by Page's long-time friend and fellow London recording session player John Paul Jones. Page's first choice as singer, Terry Reid, declined the opportunity but unselfishly recommended Plant, who accepted and then brought in his old friend Bonham from the defunct Band Of Joy.

Wanna tell you bout the girl I love.
My, she looks so fine
An shes the only one that Ive been dreamin of,
Maybe someday she will be all mine.
I wanna tell her that I love her so,
I thrill with her every touch,
I need to tell her shes the only one I really lo__ve.
I got a woman, wan ball all day.
I got a woman, she wont be true no.
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time.
I said I got a little woman and she wont be true.
On sunday mornin when we go down to church
See the menfolk standin in line.
Dont say they come to pray to the lord
But when my little girl looks so fine.
An in the evenin when the sun is sinkin low
Everybodys with the one they love.
I walk the town, keep-a searchin all around,
Lookin for my street corner girl.
I got a woman, wan ball all day yeah.
I got a woman, she wont be true no, no.
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time.

An in the bars with the men who play guitars,
Singin, drinkin and rememberin the time,
A-my little lover does a midnight shift,
She fool around-a all a the time.
I guess theres just one thing then left for me to do:
Gonna pack my bags an move on my way
A-cause I got a worried mind sharin what I thought was mine.
Gonna leave her where the guitars play.
I got a woman, she wont be true no, no.
