Lyrics

And God said to Abraham, "Give me your son"
 Abe said, "Man, you must be puttin' me on"
 God say, "No," Abe say, "What?"
 God say, "You can do what you want Abe, but
 The next time you see me comin' you better run"
 And Abe said, "Where do you want this killin' done?"
 Out on Highway 61
 Georgia Sam, he had a bloody nose
 Welfare Department, they wouldn't give him no clothes
 He asked poor Howard, "Where can I go?"
 Howard said, "There's only one place I know"
 Sam said, "Tell me quick, man, I got to run"
 Then Teddy pointed out with his gun
 "That old Highway 61"
 Well, Mack the Finger said to Louie the King
 "I got 40 red white and blue shoe strings
 And a thousand telephones that don't ring
 Do you know where I can possibly get rid of these things?"
 Sam said, "Yes, I think it can be very easily done
 They don't take it on the setting sun
 Put it on Highway 61"
 Well, their only daughter on the 12th night
 She told the first father that things weren't right
 "My complexion," she says, "You know it's much too white"
 "Come on over hip girl, step into this light
 Hmm, you're right, let me tell mother that this has been done"
 But the second mother was with the seventh son
 And they were both out on Highway 61
 ♪
 Oh, the rovin' gambler, he was very bored
 Tried to create a next world war
 He found a promoter who nearly fell on the floor
 He said, "I never did engage in this kind of thing before
 Yes, I think it can be very easily done
 We'll just put some bleachers out in the sun
 And have it on Highway 61"
