"There must be some kind of way out of here, " | |
Said the joker to the thief, | |
"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief. | |
Business men – they drink my wine | |
Plowmen dig my earth | |
None will level on the line | |
Nobody 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's getting late." | |
All along the watchtower | |
Princess kept the view | |
While all the women came | |
And went bare-foot servants too | |
Outside in the cold distance | |
A wild cat did growl | |
Two riders were approaching | |
And the wind began to howl, hey. |

And went barefoot servants too | |
