Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
"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, they, they drink my wine
Plowmen dig my earth
None will level on the line
Nobody of it is worth, hey, hey
ย
"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, uh
But you and I, we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely, now
The hour's getting late" Hey
ย
Hey
ย
All along the watchtower
Princess kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants, too, but, uh
Outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl, hey
ย
All along the watchtower
ย
Gotta beware, gotta beware, I will
ย
All along the watchtower
