All Along The Watchtower Lyrics

Jimi Hendrix

"There must be some kinda way out of here" Said the joker to the thief "There's too much confusion I can't get no relief"
"Businessmen, they, they drink my wine Plowmen dig my earth None will level on the line Nobody of it is worth", 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 you and I, we've been through that And this is not our fate So let us not talk falsely now The hour is getting late", hey
Hey
All along the watchtower Princes 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 All along the watchtower

Fab tune, very moving and on-point. Note however that when Hendrix performs it, you can *clearly* hear that he rephrases "Let us not talk falsely now", to "Let us stop talking falsely now"
