"Your Time Is Gonna Come" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin, released on their 1969 debut album Led Zeppelin.
Guitarist Jimmy Page played an out-of-tune Fender 10-string steel guitar on this track. Bassist John Paul Jones played an organ, using a pedal to create the bass.
The lyrics concern an unfaithful girl who will pay the price for her deceitful ways. The lines "One of these days and it won't be long / You'll look for me but baby I'll be gone" quote the Ray Charles song "I Believe to My Soul," demonstrating Robert Plant's affinity for R&B.
The only known performance of this song at Led Zeppelin concerts is a short snippet during a show at Tokyo on September 24, 1971 during the "Whole Lotta Love" medley, of which a bootleg recording exists. The name of the bootleg is Light And Shade.
The first known cover version of this song (and indeed of any Led Zeppelin song) was recorded by Sandie Shaw on her 1969 album Reviewing the Situation. This album saw Shaw covering songs by alternative artists of the 1960s (those she believed were responsible for the best music of the decade) and was a far cry from most of her previous pop songs.
Jimmy Page performed "Your Time Is Gonna Come" on his tour with The Black Crowes in 1999. A version of the song performed by Page and The Black Crowes can be found on the album Live at the Greek.
Led Zeppelin parody cover band Dread Zeppelin recorded a version of this song on their album Un-Led-Ed.
