New Highway No. 51 Songtext
von Tommy McClennan

Highway 51 run right by my baby′s door
Highway 51 run right by my baby's door
If I don′t get the girl I'm lovin', ain′t goin′ down Higway 51 no more

Now if I should die before my time should come
I say, if I should die just before my time should come
I want you to please bury my body out on Highway 51


Now yond' come that Greyhound,
With his tongue stickin′ out on the side
Yond' come that Greyhound, with his tongue stickin′ out on the side
If you buy your ticket, swear 'fore God, that man′ll let you ride

My baby didn't have one five dollars,
Now now, she spent it all on that V-8 Ford
My baby didn't have one five dollars, spent it all on me a V-8 Ford
So I could meet that Greyhound bus on that Highway 51 road

Now anytime you get lonesome and you wants to have some fun
Anytime you get lonesome and you wants to have some fun
"Spoken": What I′m gonna go?
Come out to little Tommy′s cabin, he lives on Highway 51
