[Verse 1]
God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son"
Abe said, "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'
Oh, you better run"
Abe said, "Where you want this killin' done?"
God said, "Down on Highway 61"
[Verse 2]
Georgia Sam had a bloody nose
The Welfare Department 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
Oh, I got to run"
Howard just pointed with his gun
And said, "That way, down Highway 61"
[Verse 3]
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 Louie the King said, "Let me think for a minute, son"
He said, "Yes, I think it can be easily done
Just take it all down to Highway 61"
[Verse 4]
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
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 5]
Now, the rovin' gambler, he was very bored
Tryin' to create a next world war
He found a promoter, who nearly fell off the floor
He said, "I've 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"
[Outro]
Thank you, hello
Hello, Tarrytown
How you guys feeling tonight?
I'm so excited, um
We've been having such a blast putting this show together for you guys
And this is a really special night and we're so happy that you guys are here
We're gonna play a bunch of Bob Dylan songs for you
And uh, in a little bit, we're gonna have some guests come out
And uh, it's all gonna be an amazing conglomeration of incredibly talented people and love and music
I hope you're gonna have half as much as we will
So thank you for being here
