Oh God said to Abraham, Kill me a son.
Abe says, Man, you must be puttin' me on.
God say, No. Abe say, What?
God say, You can do what you want Abe, but
the next time you see me comin' you better run.
Well Abe says, Where do you want this killin' done?
God says, Out on Highway 61.

You been down to the bottom with a bad man, babe
But you're back were you belong

This land is your land and this land is my land, sure, but the world is run by those that never listen to music anyway.
