Oh God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son"
Abe says, "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' you better run"
Well Abe says, "Where do you want this killin' done ?"
God says. "Out on Highway 61".

Well Georgia Sam he had a bloody nose
Welfare Department they 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 I got to run
Ol' Howard just pointed with his gun
And said that way down on Highway 61.

Well 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 ride of these things
And Louie the King said let me think for a minute son
And he said yes I think it can be easily done
Just take everything down to Highway 61.

Now the fift 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 hmmm you're right
Let me tell second mother this has been done
But the second mother was with the seventh son
And they were both out on Highway 61.

Now the rowin' gambler he was very bored
He was tryin' to create a next world war
He found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor
He said I 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.

 

      這首歌是美國民謠巨匠Bob Dylan在1965的同名專輯《Highway 61 Revisited》,這條道路是從明名蘇達到路易斯安那的主要道路。這首歌有5小節,每一小節都有一個不尋常的問題,最終會在這條道路上解決,在歌詞第一行〞上帝告訴亞伯拉罕要殺死一個孩子,上帝想要在Highway 61完成這件事,其實這一小節是在說聖經創世紀22章的故事,上帝命令亞伯拉罕殺死自己其中的孩子以撒克,亞伯拉罕是Dylan父親的名字。第二節就是講述一個窮人,他被告知要到Highway 61。其他的小節也都有一個小故事。
