Hey, Hey 

"No rea-son to get ex-cit-ed,"
the thief, he kindl-y spoke
"There are man-y here a-mong 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 false-ly now, 
the hour's get-ting late" 

All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants, too 

Outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl
