All Along The Watchtower

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

There must be some way out of here

Said the joker to the thief

There's too much confusion

I can't get no relief

Business men they drink my wine

Plow men dig my Earth

None of them along the line

Know what any of it is worth

No reason to get excited

The thief he kindly spoke

There are many here among us

Who fell 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

All along the watchtower

Princes kept the view

While all the women came and went

Barefoot servants too

Outside in the distance

A wild cat did growl

Two riders were approaching

The wind began to howl
