Highway 61 Revisited (Live)

Johnny Winter · Other Songs - Johnny Winter

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."



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



0L' Howard just pointed with his gun



And said that way down on Highway 61



Well Mack the Finger said to Louie the King



I got forty red white and blue shoe strings



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 minute son



And 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 said is much too white



He said come here and step into the light he says 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 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



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
