Highway 61 Revisited

Lyrics

Oh, God said to Abraham, "Kill me 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"
 Well, Abe' said, "Where you want this killin' done?"
 God said, "Out on Highway 61"
 Well, Georgia Sam, he had a bloody nose
 Welfare Department they wouldn't give him no clothes
 He asked poor Howard, "Where can I go?"
 And Howard said, "There's only one place I know"
 And Sam said, "Tell me quick man, I got to run"
 And ol' Howard just pointed with his gun
 And said, "That way down Highway 61"
 Well, Mack, the finger said to Louie, the King
 "I got forty red white and blue shoe strings
 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"
 And he said, "Yes, I think this could be easily done
 Just take everything 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, step into the light"
 She says, "Hmm 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 out on Highway 61
 Well, the rovin' gambler, she was very borin'
 She was tryin' to create a next world war
 He found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor
 He said, "I've never engaged in this kind of thing before
 But yes, I think it could be very easily done"
 We'll just put some bleachers out in the sun
 And have it out on Highway 61
 Highway
