Higway 61 Revisited Lyrics

Oh God said to Abraham, kill me a son

Abe said man you must be puttin me on

God said no, Abe said what

God said you can do what you want Abe but

Next time you see me coming you better run

Well, Abe said where you want this killin done

God said out on highway 61

Well, Georgia Sam, he had a bloody nose,

they wouldnt give him no clothes

He asked poor Howard, where can I go

Howard said theres only one place i know

Sam said tell me quick man I got to run

Oh Howard just pointed with his gun

And said that way down highway 61

Well, Mack the finger said to Louis the king

I got fourty red, white and blue shoestrings

And a thousand telephones that dont ring

Do you know where I can get rid of these things

And Louis the king said let me think for a minute son

And he said yes, I think it can be easily done

Just take everything down to highway 61

Now, the fifth daughter on the twelfth night

Told the first father that things were'nt right

My complexion she says is much too white

He said come here and step into the light

He said h'mm you're right,

Let me tell the second mother this has been done

But the second mother was with her seventh son

And they were both out on highway 61

Now the roving gambler, he was very bored

Trying to create our next world war

He found a promoter who nearly fell on the floor

He said I've 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 head out on highway 61
