Well, God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son"
Abe said, "Man, you must be puttin' me on"
God said, "No", Abe said, "What?"

Next time you see me comin', you'd better run"
Abe said, "Where you want this killin' done?" God said
"Out on that Highway 61"

Well, Georgia Sam, he had a bloody nose
Welfare department would give him no clothes

Thousand telephones that won't ring

Now the fifth daughter on the twelfth night
Told first father that things weren't right
"My complexion," she said, "is much too white"
He said, "Come here and stare up into the light" and said
"Hmm you're right, let me tell the second mother it's picked up"
But the second mother with the seventh son, they were
Out on that Highway 61

And, roving gambler was very bored
Trying to create the next World War and
Found a promoter, fell on the floor, and said
"I've never engaged in this kind of thing before, but"
"Yep, I think it can be easily done" (Highway)
"Just put some bleachers there out in the sun
Have it out on that 61"
