All Along The Watchtower (Live) 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
