God said to Abraham: "Kill me a son" And Abe said: "Man, you must be putting me on" God said: "No!" And Abe said: "what?" And God said, "You can do what you wanna, but But the next time you see me coming you'd better run" And Abe said: "Well, where do you want this killing done?" And God said, "Out on Highway 61" 61 Well, Georgia Sam, he had bloody nose Welfare department wouldn't give him no clothes He asked poor Howard: "Where can I go?" And Howard say: "There's only one place that I know" "Sounds great man, tell me quik, man, see I gotta run" And Howard just pointed out there with his gun and said: "That way down Highway 61" Highway 61 Well, well, well, Mack the Finger said to Louis the King "I got 40 red, white and blue shoestrings And a thousand telephones that just won't ring "Do you know where I can get rid of these things?" Louis the King said: "Let me think for a minute, son" Then he say: "Yes, I think that can be very easily done Just take them down on Highway 61" That Highway 61 The fifth daughter on the twelfth night Told the first father that things weren't right "My complexion", she said, "it's much too white" He said: "Come here and step into the light" "You're right, let me tell the second mother that it has been done" But the second mother with the 7th son They were out on Highway 61 61 Now the roving gambler, he was very bored Trying to create the third world war He found a promoter, he nearly fell on the floor He said: "I've never engaged in this kind of thing before" "But, yes, I think it can be fairly easily done We just put some bleachers out there in the sun And we'll have it down on Highway 61" Highway 61 Come on Let's go Let's go Let's go now Let's go now, now Yeah...
