61 Highway ("Street Map") - Mississippi Fred McDowell

Lord, that 61 Highway, it the longest road I know

Lord, that 61 Highway, it 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, please see somebody for me

I said please, please see somebody for me

If you see my baby tell her she’s alright with me

Lord, if I should happen a-die, baby before you think my time have come

Lord, if I should happen a-die, baby 'fore you think my time have come

I want you bury my body down on Highway 61
