Oh God said to abraham, "kill me a son"   Abe says, "man, you must be putting 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"   Well abe says, "where do you want this killing done? "   God says, "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   Howard said there's only one place I know   Sam said tell me quick man I got to run   Ol' howard just pointed with his gun   And said that way down on 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 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 weren't right   My complexion she said is much too white   He said come here and step into the light he 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.      Now the rovin' gambler he was very bored   He was tryin' to create a next world war   He found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor   He said I 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 have it on highway 61.
