All Along The Watchtower Lyrics Jimi Hendrix

from Voodoo Child: The Jimi Hendrix Collection

"All Along The Watchtower" is track #3 on the album Voodoo Child: The Jimi Hendrix Collection. It was written by Bob Dylan.

"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 of them along the line
Know what any 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
