All Along The Watch Tower
Jimi Hendrix
(Music: Bob Dylan)
"There must be some kinda way out of here"
Said a joker to the thief
"There's too much confusion,
I can't get no relief
Businessmen they, they drink my wine,
Ploughmen take my earth
No one will level on the line
Nobody up to his words"
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 ah, 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!
All along the watchtower,
Princess kept the view
While all the women came and went,
Barefoot servants too
Outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl
Hey!
All along the watchtower
