Highway 61 Revisited

God said to Abraham, kill me a son

Abe said, man, you must be putting me on

God said, no, Abe said, what

God said, you can do what you want Abe, but

Next time you see me coming

Whoa, you better run

Abe said, where you want this killing done?

God said, out on Highway 61

God come, well

Georgia Sam had a bloody nose

Welfare Department wouldn't give him no clothes

He asked poor Howard, where can I go?

Howard said, there's only one place that I know

And Sam said, tell me quick, man

Whoa, I gotta run

Howard just pointed with his gun

And said, that way down Highway 61

Mack the Finger said to Louie the King, I got

Forty red, white, and blue shoestrings

And a thousand telephones that don't ring

Do you know where I can get rid of these things?

And Louie the King, said

Let me think for a minute, son

He said, yes, I think it can be easily done

Just take it all down to Highway 61

Well, the fifth daughter on the twelfth night

Told the first father that things weren't right

My complexion, she said, is much too white

He said, come here and step into the light

He said, mm, you're right

Let me tell the second mother this has been done

But the second mother was with the seventh son

And they were both down on Highway 61

The roving gambler, he was very bored

He was trying to create the next world war

He found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor

Said, I never engaged in this kind of thing before

But yes, I think it can be very easily done

We'll just put some bleachers out in the sun

And have it down on Highway 61
