All Along The Watchtower Songtext / Lyric

"There must be some way out of here" said the joker to the thief

"There's too much confusion", I can't get no relief

Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth

None of them along the line know what any of it is worth.






"No reason to get excited", the thief he kindly spoke

"There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke

But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate

So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late".



All along the watchtower, princes kept the view

While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.



Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl

Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.
