Song written by Anne Bredon
"Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" is a folk song written by Anne Bredon in the late 1950s. Joan Baez recorded a solo version for her 1962 album Joan Baez in Concert and a variety of musicians subsequently adapted it to a variety of styles, including Led Zeppelin. Several songwriters have been credited on releases over the years, although Bredon usually receives a sole or partial credit on current releases.

In 1960, Anne Bredon appeared on a live folk music show on radio station KPFA in Berkeley, California, where she performed "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You". Janet Smith heard the performance and later Joan Baez learned the song from Smith at Oberlin College. The 1962 album Joan Baez in Concert includes a solo performance with her vocal and acoustic guitar picking. Vanguard Records co owner/producer Maynard Solomon commented in the album liner notes: "The strange quality [and power] of the song is that the narrator inwardly desires exactly the opposite of what he will do, and is torn by the prospect of his self imposed departure." Due to the popularity of her album, Baez' rendition was adapted by the Plebs (with members of the Nashville Teens) (1964 single), the Association (1965 single), Mark Wynter (1965 single), Quicksilver Messenger Service (1968 Revolution soundtrack), and Led Zeppelin (1969 Led Zeppelin). The songwriters originally listed for these early versions include " Dennis", Anne H. Bredon, Janet Smith, Paul Bennett, Erik Darling, and "Traditional arr. by Jimmy Page".

Guitarist Jimmy Page heard Baez' version and began developing "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" early in his career as a session guitarist. In an interview, Page commented, "I used to do the song in the days of sitting in the darkness playing my six string behind Marianne Faithfull." Although based on the Baez version, Led Zeppelin came up with a very different approach. The band played this song at Led Zeppelin concerts on its 1969 concert tours; a filmed performance at Danmarks Radio, Gladsaxe, Denmark, on March 17, 1969, is included on the Led Zeppelin DVD (2003). For their 1994 98 project, Page and Plant performed a 9 minute version of the song, which included the opening notes of Stairway to Heaven in the outro. Plant has performed the song as a solo artist and with his bands Strange Sensation and the Sensational Space Shifters. As of 2002, the 1969 promotional EP using the song as the A side track and "Dazed and Confused" as B side had been one of top ten Led Zeppelin music collectibles. A collector, Rick Barrett, dedicated to his Led Zeppelin memorabilia, sold several copies of the promo EP for –500 each, "depending on the condition of the sleeve and of the record itself," said Barrett.
