Bob Dylan & The Band - All Along The Watchtower lyrics

rate me

There must be some way out of here, said the joker to the thief<br />

There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief<br />

Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth<br />

None of them along the line, know what any of it is worth<br />

<br />

No reason to get excited, the thief, he kindly spoke<br />

There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke<br />

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

So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late<br />

<br />

All along the watchtower, princes kept the view<br />

While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too<br />

Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl<br />

Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl
