highway 51 blues

highway 51 runs right by my baby's door

highway 51 runs right by my baby's door

if i don't get the girl i'm loving

won't go down to highway 51 no more

well

i know that highway like i know my hand

yes

i know that highway like i know the back of my hand

running from up wisconsin way down to no man's land

well

if i should die before my time should come

and if i should die before my time should come

won't you bury my body out on the highway 51

highway 51 runs right by my baby's door

i said

highway 51 runs right by my baby's door

if i don't get the girl i'm loving

won't go down to highway 51 no more
