All Along The Watchtower Lyrics By The Jimi Hendrix Experience

    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

    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

    hey

    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

    all along the watchtower
    all along the watchtower
