Lyrics for Highway 61 Revisited - Live at LA Forum, Inglewood, CA - February 1974

Oh God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son" Abe says, "Man, you must be puttin' 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 killin' done?" God says, "Out on Highway 61" 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 "That way down on Highway 61" Well Mack the Finger said to Louie the King: "I got forty red, white and blue shoestrings And a thousand telephones that don't ring Do you know where I can possibly get rid of these things?" And Louie the King said, "Let me think for a minute son" And he said, "Yeah I think it can be easily done Take it on 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 over here and step into this light, yeah 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 I never did engage 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
