Highway 61 Revisited Lyrics - Original Album Classics, Vol. 3 - Johnny Winter

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.
