All Along The Watchtower lyrics

Artist  : Indigo Girls 
Song : All Along The Watchtower
 
"All Along the Watchtower" is a Bob Dylan song
from 1968.  The girls
have been doing this for years, and Amy kinda
tends to improvise a
lot, so I'll just stick with the official Dylan
transcription.
All Along the Watchtower.
"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.
Businessmen, they drink my wine; Plowmen 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 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."
All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went; Barefoot
servants, too.
Outside in the distance, a wildcat did growl;
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to
howl.
