Hwy. 61 Revisited Songtext
von Pat Travers

God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son"
Abe say, "Man, you must be puttin′ me on"
God say, "No", and Abe say, "What?"
God say, "You can do what you want Abe, but now
Next time you see me comin', you better run"

Abe said, "Where do you want this killin′ done?"
God said, "Out on Highway 61"


Georgia Sam, he got a bloody nose
Welfare department wouldn't give him no clothes
He asked poor Howard, "Where can I go?"
Howard said, "Ain't but one place I know"
And Sam said, "Tell me quick, man, I got to run"

Oh, Howard just pointed with his gun
"That way, down on Highway 61"

Mack the Finger said to Louie the King
"I got 40 red, white and blue shoe strings
A thousand telephones that will not ring
Tell me, man, where can I get rid of these things?"
Louie the King said, "Let me think for a minute, son"

Louie the King said, "I think it can be easily done
Just take everything out on Highway 61"
