Lyrics
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 there they drink my wine
Plowmen dig my earth
None of 'em will ever own a mine
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
All along the watchtower
Princess 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
Hey all along the watchtower
