"61 Highway" lyrics

"61 Highway"
(originally by Mississippi Fred McDowell)

Lord, that 61 Highway is the longest road I know
Lord, that 61 Highway is the longest road I know
She run from New York City down to Gulf of Mexico

Lord, now some folks said them there Greyhound buses don't run
Lord, now some folks said them there Greyhound buses don't run
Just go to West Memphis, baby, and look down Highway 61

Lord, if I have to die, baby, before you think my time has come
Lord, if I have to die, baby, before you think my time has come
Then just bury my body down on Highway 61

Lord, the 61 Highway is the longest road I know
Lord, the 61 Highway is the longest road I know
She run from New York City, New York City, down to Gulf of Mexico
