Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Poor Tom - Remaster. By Songfacts®.

Recorded in 1970, this song was remixed for Coda, an album of unreleased tracks that came out after the group's drummer John Bonham died. It was intended for Led Zeppelin III, but didn't make the cut.

Jimmy Page and Robert Plant wrote this at Bron-y-aur, the cottage in Wales where they wrote most of Led Zeppelin III.

In the song, Tom finds out his wife is cheating on him and shoots her. It is highly atypical for a Zeppelin song: jug-band, acoustics, and harmonica. More of the skiffle than the Hammer of the Gods here, albeit still unmistakably Zeppelin.
