Lord, that 61 Highway
 It's the longest road I know
 Lord, that 61 Highway
 It's the longest road I know
 She run from New York City
 Run right by my baby's do'
 Well, there some folks said them
 Greyhound buses don't run
 Lordy, some folks said them
 Greyhound buses don't run
 Lord, just go to West Memphis, baby
 Look down Highway 61
 I said, please
 I said, please see somebody for me
 I said ple-eee-eee-ase
 Please see somebody for me
 If you see my baby
 Tell her she's alright with me
 (guitar)
 Lord, if I should hap'n a-die, baby
 Before you think my time have come
 Lord, if I should hap'n a-die, baby
 'Fore you think my time have come
 I want you bury my body
 Down on Highway 61.
