Highway 51 runs right by my baby´s door
Highway 51 runs right by my baby´s door
If I don´t get the girl I´m loving, won´t go down Highway 51 no more

Well, I know that highway like I know my hand
Yes, I know that highway like I know the back of my hand
Running from up Wisconsin way down to no man´s land

Well, if I should die ´fore my time should come
And if I should die ´fore my time should come
Won´t you bury my body out on the Highway 51

Highway 51 runs right by my baby´s door
I said Highway 51 runs right by my baby´s door
If I don´t get the girl I´m loving, won´t go down to Highway 51 no more
