All Along the Watchtower - Live at Nippon Budokan Hall, Tokyo, Japan - February/March 1978
Lyrics
Alright, that's Dave from Chicago This is from the Mojave desert ♪ "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
