All Along the Watchtower Lyrics

[Verse 1]
"There must be some way out of here," said the seeker to the thief
"There's too much confusion and I can't get no relief
Businessmen drink my wine, and plowmen dig my earth
None of them along the line know any of its worth"

[Verse 2]
"No reason to get excited," he spoke
"You know there are many here who think that life is a joke
But you and I, we've been through that and this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely, for the hour is getting late"

[Verse 3]
All along the watchtower, the prince, he kept the view
All his women came and went, all the foot servants too
Outside in the distance, a wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching and the wind began to howl

[Outro]
All along the watchtower, the prince, he kept the view
All his women came and went, all the foot servants too
Outside in the distance, a wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching and the wind began to howl

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
