Lyrics

Oh, God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son"
 Abe says, "Man, you must be putting me on"
 God says, "No" Abe says, "What?"
 God says, "You can do what you want, Abe, but
 The next time you see me coming, you better run"
 Well, Abe said, "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, and I gotta run"
 Old Howard just pointed with his gun
 And said, "That way, down Highway 61"
 Well, Mack the Finger said to Louie the King
 "I got forty red, white and blue 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 her 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 sun
 And they were both out on Highway 61
 Now the Roving Gambler, he was very bored
 He was trying 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 up some bleachers out in the sun
 And have it on Highway 61"
