New Highway 51 - Big Joe Williams

Highway 51, run right by my baby’s do'

Highway 51, runs right by my baby’s do'

If I don’t get the girl to lovin', ain’t g’win down Highway 51, no mo'

Now, if I should die, befo' my time should come

I say, if I should die, umm, just befo' my time should come

I want ya to please bury my body, out on Highway 51

Now, yon' come that Greyhound, with his tongue stickin' out on the side, Yas,

yeah, Yon' come that Greyhound

With his tongue stickin' out on the side, if you buy yo' ticket

Swear 'fore God, that man’ll let you ride

My baby didn’t have one five dollars, now-now, she spent it all on me,

a V8 Ford, yes, yes

My baby one five dollars, spent it all on me, a V8 Ford

So I could meet that Greyhound bus, on that Highway 51 road

Now, anytime you get lonesome, an you wants to have some fun yes, yes

Anytime you get lonesome, an you wants to have some fun (Where my goin?)

Come out to Tommy’s cabin, he lives on Highway 51
