Highway 61

(bob dylan)

God said to abraham kill me a son
Abe said man, you must be putting me on
God said no - abe said what?
God said you can do what you want abe,
But next time you see me coming you better run
Abe said whered you want this killing done?
God said out on highway 61

Georgia sam he had a bloody nose
The wellfare department they wouldnt give him no clothes
He asked poor howard where can I go?
Howard says theres only one place I know
Sam said tell me quick man I got to run
Oh, howard he just pointed with his gun
He said thats way down highway 61

Mack the finger said to louis the king
i got fourty red-white-blue shoe strings
And a thousand telephones that dont ring
Do you know where I can get rid of these things?
Louis 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

Well the 5th daughter on the 12th night
Told the 1st father that things werent right
My complexion she says is much too white
He says come here step into the light
He says mam youre right - let me tell
The 2nd mother this has been love
But the 2nd mother was with the 7th son
And they were both out on highway 61

Now the roving gambler he was very bored
Trying to create a next world war
He found a promoter who nearly fell on the floor
He said i never engaged in this kind of thing before
But yes, I think it can be very easily done
Well just put some bleachers out in the sun
And head it out on highway 61
