"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 and I'll be gone" quote the Ray Charles song "I Believe to My Soul," demonstrating Robert Plant's affinity for R&B.
The band performed this song at Led Zeppelin concerts only on their 1968 Scandinavian, tour and later on occasion as part of "Whole Lotta Love" medleys.
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.
