God said to Abraham, "kill me a son"
Abe say, "man, you must be putting me on"
God say, "no", and Abe say, "what?"
God say, "you can do what you want Abe, but"
"Next time you see me comin', man, you better run"
Abe said, "where do you want this killing done?"
God said, "out on Highway 61"
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, "man, 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"
Mack the Finger said to Louie the King
"I got forty red white and blue shoe strings"
"And a thousand telephones that will not ring"
"Tell me, man, 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 believe it can 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 and step into the light"
He said, "yes, you're right"
"I'm gonna 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 almost 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"
" 'Cause we'll put some bleachers out in the sun"
"And have it on Highway 61"
Ah, yeah
Out on Highway 61
Yeah, pull over, baby
