All Along The Watchover Songtext
von Bobby Womack

Hey

There must be some way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
There′s too much confusion
Oh, I can't get no relief

Yeah
Yeah

Businessmen drink their wine
Poor men dig the earth, yeah
None of them on the line
Know what′s the use and worth
Only me

All along the watchtower
All along the watchtower, yeah

No reason to get excited, yeah
Thief, he kindly spoke
Ooh, there's many here among us, yeah
Who feel this life is a joke


All along the watchtower
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Yeah, yeah

Hey
But you and
You and I know we've been through that before
And this is not our fate
So let′s not talk about it now
The hour′s getting late
Getting late
Getting late

All along the watchtower, yeah
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went barefooted, yeah
Servants did it too

Outside in the distance
The wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
The wind, the wind began to howl out loud
Yeah

They know in time
Coming right around


I'm, I′m gonna play
