Well, you've got the right idea -- it's always good to listen to the
originals -- *but*, a careful listen should reveal Young Williamson's
true lyric: "Conductor hollered, 'All aboard!'." The line makes sense
now, huh? Anyway, it is quite possible that Plant copied his lyrics from
this version and just mis-heard this line. That's my story & ISTI.
