All Along the Watchtower Songtext
von Dave Mason

"There must be some way out of here", said the joker to the thief
There′s too much confusion, yeah, yeah I can't get no relief
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth
None of them along the line nobody, nobody′s on anyway

No reason to get excited, the thief, he kindly spoke
There are many here among us now, yeah, who feel like life is but a joke
But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate, no, no, no
So let us not talk falsely now, 'cause the hour, the hour is getting late, yeah, yeah


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, yeah, yeah and the wind began to howl

All along the watchtower
All along the watchtower
All along the watchtower
All along the watchtower
All along the watchtower
All along the watchtower, yeah, yeah
