Lord, I'm so blue, Lord, my baby has gone away
Lord, I'm so blue, Lord, my baby has gone away
Now, but that gonna be alright, maybe she'll come back home someday
I'm goin' to take Highway 61, man, I'm gonna ride it from coast to coast
I'm goin' to take Highway 61, man I'm gonna ride it from coast to coast
Now, my baby's goin' up the country, Lord, n' she won't come back no more
I'm going to call all the stations, I'm going to stop all train goin' out
I'm going to call the stations, I'm going to stop all trains goin' out
Because my baby's goin' up the country, oh Lord, n' she can't be found
I'm going to call old England, just to see if my baby's over there
I'm going to call old England, just to see if my baby's over there
Now if n' she ain't in England, lord, I can find in this world somewhere
