"South Bound Saurez" is the second track on Led Zeppelin's 1979 album In Through the Out Door. The song is centered on John Paul Jones's honky-tonk piano. It is credited to Jones and singer Robert Plant.
"South Bound Saurez" is one of only two Led Zeppelin songs which Jimmy Page had no part in writing (the other being "All My Love", also from In Through the Out Door). At the time, Page and drummer John Bonham were spending a lot of time together and rarely appeared at the studio when Plant and Jones started working on songs for In Through the Out Door.
The song was never performed live at Led Zeppelin concerts, though some of the guitar riffs were at times included during live performances, as can be heard near the end of "Whole Lotta Love" in The Song Remains the Same.[1]
