All Along The Watchtower
    #2538341 -

What do you guys think this song is about?
It definitely seems to have some sort of deeper meaning, but i really dont know what....
Either way it's still a great song
What are your theories?


here are the lyrics:

"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.

I know both versions, but now I'm confused. Who originally wrote the song? Hendrix or Dylan?
All along, I thought it was Hendrix

I'm quite sure that Dylan wrote it, but Hendrix made it more famous... I always interpreted it as the only people in our modern society who can see through it/want it to change are portrayed as jokers or thieves.
