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

God say, "Out on Highway 61"

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"
 C                                      G
Sam said, "Tell me quick man, I got to run"
 D             
Howard just pointed over with his gun
  G
"That way down highway 61"

Mack the Finger said to Louie the King

"I got forty red white and blue shoe strings

And a thousand telephones that don't ring.

Do you know where I can get rid of these things?'
  C                                              G
Louie the King said, "Let me think for a minute son" 
            D                  
He said, "yeah, I think it can be easily done
        G             
Pack it on down to highway 61"

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 over here, girl, step into the light
               C                                           G              
Yeah, you're right, let me tell your mother this has been done"
         D                             
But the second mother was with the seventh son
               G
And they were both out on highway 61


 G 
Roving Gambler was very bored

Tried to create a next world war

He found a promoter, nearly fell of the floor

"Though I've never engaged in this kind of thing before
     C                                   G 
But yeah, I think it can be very easily done
            D                                 
We'll just put some bleachers out in the sun 
        G 
Have it  on highway 61"
