Highway 61 Revisited
Johnny Winter

Oh, God said to Abraham, Kill me a son
Abe said, Man, you must be puttin' me on
God said, 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 said, Where d'you want this killin' done?
God said, 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
Oh, Howard just pointed with his gun
And said, That way, down Highway 61

Well, Mack the Finger said to Louie the King
I got 40 red-white-and-blue shoestrings
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 moment, son
Then 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 says, is much too white
He said, Come here and step into the light
He said, 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 roving gambler he was very bored
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 some bleachers out in the sun
And have it on Highway 61
