Lyrics 61 Highway - Hans Theessink

Lord that 61 highway is the longest road I know
61 highway is the longest road I know
Runs from Chicago -
Down to the Gulf of Mexico

Gonna buy me a pony – take him for a run
Gonna buy me a racehorse – take him for a run
See me comin', pretty mama -
Down Highway 61

Somebody please -
Bring a letter down south for me
I said somebody please -
Bring a letter down south for me
If you see my pretty baby -
Tell her she's allright with me

I started school one monday morning -
Tuesday I threw my books away
I started school one monday morning -
Tuesday I threw my books away
Said goodbye to my teacher -
I'm gonna try 61 highway

When I die – baby when my time has come
When I die – baby you know my time ain't long
I want you to bury my body -
Out on Highway 61
