Highway 51 Blues

Highway 51 runs right by my baby's door

Highway 51 runs right by my baby's door

But I won't get the girl I'm loving

Won't go down Highway 51 no more.



Well, I know that highway like I know my hand

Yes, I know that highway like I know the back of my hand

Running from up Wisconsin

Way down to no man's land.



Well, if I should die before my time should come

And if I should die before my time should come

Won't you bury my body

Out on Highway 51?



Highway 51 runs right by my baby's door

I said, Highway 51 runs right by my baby's door

But I won't get the girl I'm loving

Won't go down Highway 51 no more
