Highway 61 Revisited (Live at Madison Square Garden, New York City, NY - January 31, 1974 (Afternoon))

[Verse 1]

God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son"

Abe said, "Man, you must be putting me on"

God said no, Abe said, "What?"

God said, "You can do what you want, Abe, but, the

Next time you see me coming, you better run!"

Well, Abe said, "Where you want this killing done?"

God said, "Out on Highway 61"

[Verse 2]

Georgia Sam, he had a bloody nose

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"

He said, "Tell me quick, man, I got to run!"

Oh, Howard just pointed off with his gun

"Down that way, down Highway 61"

[Verse 3]

Mack the Finger said to Louie the King:

"I got forty rеd, white, and blue shoestrings, and

A thousand tеlephones that don't ring

Do you know where I can possibly get rid of these things?"

And he said, "Let me think for a minute, son

Yes, I think it can be easily done!

Take it on down to Highway 61"

[Verse 4]

The fifth daughter on the twelfth night

Told the first father that things weren't right

"My complexion," she says, "Is much too white"

"Come on over here, girl, and step into the light"

He said, "You're right!

Now tell Mama this has been done"

But the first mother was with the seventh son

And they were both out on Highway 61

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 5]

Well, the roving gambler, he was very bored

Tried to create a next world war

Found a promoter who nearly fell on the floor

He said, "Never did engage in this kinda 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!
