| 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!” |
| All along the watchtower, |
| Princes kept the view. |
| While all the women came and went, |
| Barefoot servants, too! |
| “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, |
| And the wind began to howl. |
| All along the watchtower |
| Princess kept the view |
| While all the women came and went |
| Barefoot servants too |
| All along the watchtower |
| All along the watchtower |
| All along the watchtower |
