Lyrics: [Verse 1] "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 Plowmen dig my earth None will level on the line Nobody offered his word" Hey! [Verse 2] "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, uh, but you and I, we've been through that And this is not our fate So let us stop talkin' falsely now The hour's getting late Hey! [Guitar Solo] Hey! [Verse 3] All along the watchtower Princes kept the view While all the women came and went Barefoot servants too Well, uh, outside in the cold distance A wildcat did growl Two riders were approaching And the wind began to howl Hey! [Outro] All along the watchtower All along the watchtower
