Lyrics All Along The Watchtower - Grateful Dead

All Along The Watchtower

«There must be some kind of 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
Ploughmen dig my earth
None will level on the line
Nobody of it is worth»
Hey hey
«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 huh
But you and I, we’ve been through that,
And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now
The hour’s getting late.»
Hey!
Hey
All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Bare-foot servants to, but huh
Outside in the cold distance
A wild cat did growl
Two riders were approachin'
And the wind began to howl
Hey!
Oh All along the watchtower
Hear you sing around the watch
Gotta beware gotta beware I will
Yeah
Ooh baby
All along the watchtower
