| This is yet another excellent song by Led Zeppelin. The song is about a man who lives right in front of a levee (dam). The levee is weakening, and will soon collapse. The song has a strong blues feeling, since the man has to leave his home. | |

| I love the song, and i think that the history thing is right, i think its stupid to say that the song is about sex, because if u try hard enough u can make almost any song have a double meaning for sex. | |

| I like this song, but it sounds kind of eerie to me. If I listen to the whole song through, it will play in my head all day. As far as the meaning, I've never really thought of it. The history thing sounds pretty accurate. (BTW this was the first Zeppelin song I ever heard) | |

| i heard a rumour that this song is about a chapter in the book The Grapes of Wrath. if you have read the book, then you will know what im referring to. i think its possible, but not likely | |
