[Intro 1]
[A][A][A][A]

[Verse 1]
Oh, [A]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 [D]next time you see me comin',
you better [A]run"
Well, [E]Abe said,
"Where d'you want this killin' done?"
[A]God said, "Out on Highway 61"
[A][A]

[Verse 2]
[A]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"
[D]Sam said, "Tell me quick, man,
I got to [A]run"
[E]Oh, Howard just pointed with his gun
And [A]said, "That way, down Highway 61"
[A][A]

[Verse 3]
[A]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 get
rid of these things?"
And [D]Louie the King said,
"Let me think for a minute, [A]son"
Then he said,
[E]"Yes, I think it can be easily done
Just take [A]everything down to Highway 61"
[A][A]

[Verse 4]
Now, [A]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, [D]"Hmm, you're right,
let me tell the second mother
this has been [A]done"
But [E]the second mother
was with the seventh son
And they were [A]both out on Highway 61
[A][A][A]

[Verse 5]
Now, [A]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 [D]yes, I think it can be very easily [A]done
We'll just [E]put some bleachers out in the sun
And have [A]it on Highway [A]61[A]

[Outro 1]
