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 took license with the song from his version, actually, and continue to do it to this day. I liked Jimi Hendrix’s record of this and ever since he died I’ve been doing it that way. Strange how when I sing it, I always feel it’s a tribute to him in some kind of way.” - Bob Dylan

I think Dylan intensely disliked 'psychedelic' music from '67 onwards, and had little time for the Woodstock festival in '69 - including 'Sgt Pepper'. This sounds like a retrospective view to me.

I read that in Saul's voice. I can't believe on this and the hendrix version I scrolled for way too long for this to be the only comment I see referencing bsg. And I'm writing this four years after you..

[@joopremme238]

No other version of this song has this rhythm, which suits the words best: a prophet talks in a pace that leads to what is unavoidable

[@waynejohanson1083]

I wonder what this would sound like with a electric guitar. I bet it would be amazing.

It has slowly come to my attention that apparently Bob Dylan wrote all the best songs.

[@RudeeOlivier]

That song inspired us to write a raging song about the gun situation in America and the awful events in the university in 2018 (among all the other tragedies). Dylan and Hendrix kind of showed us the way with this great anthem. If you have 3 minutes to spare, I would love your opinion on our song, comments from people with the same taste in music are always best, and stay safe in these crazy times we are in : kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXfblolupNSgabc

This song is perfect for when I don't know how to deal with people. Such brilliant lyrics!

[@stanhawkins1023]

I never thought much of Dylan’s performances of his legendary songs. This is the exception. Extraordinary listening experience.

[@Rackatiakka]

I believe this is objectively the greatest song ever made.

[@theWazimu]

Bob loved this song so much when Jimmy sang it.. He even said so himself. Though i keep finding myself comming back to this version each and everytime, where love got made, love will always be

[@mingram7748]

Both versions are really great!

[@monicatolipan3238]

This is one of the greatest hymns from Bob Dylan's whole Music comes to save someone's heart and soul forever young !❤

[@MrConan89]

Until today I had never heard the Dylan version. I play a weekly solo gig these days and will add this song. I have been singing many Dylan songs since the 60's. I also missed out on "Make you feel my love" and added it to my rep after I heard the Adele version. Only later did I find out that Dylan wrote it, ha ha. Lucky me, I attended his live show in UK which was the last one with just him and his guitar.

let us not talk falsely, now the hour is getting late

So let us not stick in KZbin now, the hour is getting late.

[@wiionmii1111]

Weird I was reading your comment exactly as he sang the lyric

[@karolmik4901]

To bezapelacyjnie najlepszy okres samego Dylana jak i genialny tekst i sama muza!

[@austinreid5032]

When i was young i had no time for Bob Dylan but as i got older i realise the genius of this man.

[@spiritualgeek3340]

why am i not surprised to hear this song was in fact written by dylan- it is definitely his poetry

[@gwynnielsen5081]

This tune was definitely one of the anthems of the 1960s. Gotta love both Dylan's and Hendrix's renditions.

[@ericsmith8708]

What a beautiful voice nice memories I love this song still listening. How are you Gwyn ?

[@gwynnielsen5081]

@@ericsmith8708 Are you referring to my voice on KZbin or Dylan's? Check out mine if you haven't already, Eric: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2qpo4einad7b8k. Thanks, Eric and take care.

[@imannonymous7707]

Dylan shocked the rocknroll crowd after the infamous 66 tour , and a trilogy of rocknroll records. what would he do nex?. it was the psychedelic age, sgt pepper, cream , lsd,peace n love.. What did he do? he went into reclusion And when he returns , its just him his acoustic guitar n his harmonica front n center......another great dylan moment

[@JoseGonzalez-ez6vn]

***Seclusion.

[@dylanthompson8511]

I like his better, it's like a recluse going into seclusion. Superseclusion.

[@sheilamccoy2108]

This great vocal and hearty harp sung story is so wonderfully alerting.

[@spinnersea9029]

Thanks, Rick!! Dylan has been my all time hero.
