"South Bound Saurez" is the second song on English rock band Led Zeppelin's 1979 album, In Through The Out Door. The title contains a typographical error; it is thought that saurez is conflated with soirée.
The song is centered around 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"). 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. Page made a few minor mistakes in his guitar part, but opted to leave them in.
