He was tryin' to create a next world war
He found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor
Well Abe said, "Where do you want this killin' done?"
And said, "That way down Highway 61"
Let me tell the second mother this has been done"
0ld howard just pointed with his gun
Sam said, "Tell me quick man and I got to run"
God say, "Out on Highway 61"
But the second mother was with the seventh son
Well Georgia Sam he had a bloody nose
But yes I think it can be very easily done"
He says, "Hmm you're right
And they were both out on Highway 61
We'll just put some bleachers out in the sun
God say "You can do what you want Abe but
The next time you see me comin' you better run"
Just take everything down to Highway 61"
And a thousand telephones that don't ring
And he said, "Yes I think it can be easily done
Now the Rovin' gambler he was very bored
Do you know where I can get rid of these things?"
"I got forty red white and blue shoe strings
Welfare department they wouldn't give him no clothes
He said, "I never engaged in this kind of thing before
Well Mack the finger said to Louie the King
My complexion she says is much too white
Now the fifth daughter on the twelfth night
He asked poor Howard, "Where can I go?"
Howard said, "There's only one place I know"
God says, "No", Abe say "What?"
And Louie the King said, "Let me think for a minute son"
Told the first father that things weren't right
He said, "Come here and step into the light"
