Oh God said to Abraham, “Kill me a son”
La5
Abe says, “Man, you must be puttin’ me on”
La5
God say, “No.” Abe say, “What?”
La5
God say, “You can do what you want Abe, but
Re La5
The next time you see me comin’ you better run”
Mi
Well Abe says, “Where do you want this killin’ done?”
La5
God says, “Out on Highway 61”

Well Georgia Sam he had a bloody nose
La5
Welfare Department they wouldn’t give him no clothes
La5
He asked poor Howard where can I go
La5
Howard said there’s only one place I know
Re La5
Sam said tell me quick man I got to run
Mi
Ol’ Howard just pointed with his gun
La5
And said that way down on Highway 61
La5
Well Mack the Finger said to Louie the King
La5
I got forty red, white and blue shoestrings
La5
And a thousand telephones that don’t ring
La5
Do you know where I can get rid of these things
Re La5
And Louie the King said let me think for a minute son
Mi
And he said yes I think it can be easily done
La5
Just take everything down to Highway 61

La5
Now the fifth daughter on the twelfth night
La5
Told the first father that things weren’t right
La5
My complexion she said is much too white
La5
He said come here and step into the light,
Re
He says hmm you’re right, let me
La5
tell the second mother this has been done
Mi
But the second mother was with the seventh son
La5
And they were both out on Highway 61

La5
Now the rovin’ gambler he was very bored
La5
He was tryin’ to create a next world war
La5
He found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor
La5
He said I never engaged in this kind of thing before
Re La5
But yes I think it can be very easily done
Mi
We’ll just put some bleachers out in the sun
La5
And have it on Highway 61
