[Bb]
Oh 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 [Eb] Abe, but next time you see me coming you [Bb] better run.
[F] Well Abe said where you want this killing [Bb] done?
God said on Highway 61.
Well Georgia Sam he hit a bloody nose.
Well Fair Department they wouldn't give him no clothes.
They asked poor Howard where can I go?
Howard said there's only one place I [Eb] know.
Sam said tell me quick man [Bb] I got to run.
[F] Oh Howard just pointed with his [Bb] gun and said that way down Highway 61.
Well Mack the Finger said to Louis the King, I got 40 red white blue shoe strings and a thousand telephones that don't ring.
Do you know where I can get rid of these things?
[Eb] And Louis the King said let [Ab] me think for a [Bb] minute son.
[F] And he said yes I think it can be easily [Bb] done.
Just take everything down to Highway 61.
Now Louis the Fifth's daughter on that twelfth night told her first father that things weren't right.
By complexion she says he's much too white.
He said come here and step into the light.
[Eb] He said hmm you're right.
Let me tell the second mother [Bb] this has been done.
[F] But the second mother was with the seventh [Bb] son and it was close.
Out on Highway [Ab] [Bb] 61.
The roving gambler he was very bored.
Trying to create our next world war.
He found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor.
He said I never engaged in this kind of thing [Eb] before.
But yes I think it can be very [Bb] easily done.
[F] We'll just put some bleachers out in the [Bb] sun and have it on Highway 61.
Oh my God.
[Eb] [Bb]
