The Grateful Dead — All Along the Watchtower Live at Knickerbocker Arena March 1990

[Verse 1] There must be some kind of way out of here Said the joker to the thief There's too much confusion here I can't get no relief Businessmen, they drink my wine Plow men dig my earth None will level on the line Nobody of it is worth [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] 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's getting late [Instrumental break] [Verse 3] All along the watchtower Princes kept the view Barefoot servants came and went Little children too Outside in the distance A wild cat did growl And two riders were approachin' And the wind began to howl [Instrumental]
