NORTH MISSISSIPPI ALLSTARS
"61 Highway"
(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 the Gulf of Mexico

Lord, now, some folks say them there Greyhound buses don't run
Lord, now, some folks say them there Greyhound buses don't run
Just go to work 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 out on Highway 61

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, New York City, down the Gulf of Mexico
