Lyrics

Yeah
 ♪
 Yeah, 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
 The next time you see me comin' you better run"
 God said, "Where do you want this killin' done?"
 Out on Highway 61
 ♪
 Georgia Sam, he 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 I know"
 Sam said, "Tell me quick man, I got to run"
 And then he pointed out with his gun
 That ol' 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 that easily done
 They don't take it on the city, son
 Put it on Highway 61"
 ♪
 Well, the women going on their 12 night
 She told her good father that things weren't right
 "My complexion" she said, "You know is much too white"
 "Come on over here girl, step into this light
 Mmm, 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
 Tryin' 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, but
 Yes, I think it can be very easily done
 We need to put some bleachers out in the sun
 And have it on Highway 61"
