2. Oh, God said to Abraham, “Kill me a son”  
Abe said, “Man, you must be puttin’ me on”  
God said, “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 said, “Where d’you want this killin’ done?”  
God said, “Out on Highway 61”…

Is your money that good  
Will it buy you forgiveness  
Do you think that it could  
I think you will find  
When your death takes its toll  
All the money you made  
Will never buy back your soul.

And I’ll stand on your grave

5. Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?  
Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?  
I’ve stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains  
I’ve walked and I’ve crawled on six crooked highways  
I’ve stepped in the middle of seven sad forests  
I’ve been out in front of a dozen dead oceans  
I’ve been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard  
And it’s a hard, and it’s a hard, it’s a hard, and it’s a hard  
And it’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall

You can hurt someone and not even know it  
The next sixty seconds could be like an eternity  
Gonna get low down, gonna fly high  
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie  
I’m in love with a woman who don’t even appeal to me…

The song ends exactly a minute after the “sixty seconds” line.

Well, Abe said, “Where d’you want this killin’ done?”  
God said, “Out on Highway 61”…

3. And I hope that you die  
And your death will come soon  
I will follow your casket  
In the pale afternoon  
And I’ll watch while you’re lowered  
Down to your deathbed  
And I’ll stand on your grave  
Til I’m sure that you’re dead

4. No, I do not feel that good when I see the heartbreaks you embrace  
If I was a master thief perhaps I’d rob them  
And tho I know you’re dissatisfied with your position and your place  
Don’t you understand, its not my problem?

5. Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?  
Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?  
I’ve stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains  
I’ve walked and I’ve crawled on six crooked highways  
I’ve stepped in the middle of seven sad forests  
I’ve been out in front of a dozen dead oceans  
I’ve been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard  
And it’s a hard, and it’s a hard, it’s a hard, and it’s a hard  
And it’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall

6. I hurt easy, I just don’t show it  
You can hurt someone and not even know it  
The next sixty seconds could be like an eternity  
Gonna get low down, gonna fly high  
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie  
I’m in love with a woman who don’t even appeal to me…

7. How many roads must a man walk down  
Before you call him a man  
How many seas must a white dove sail  
Before she sleeps in the sand  
Yes, ‘n’ how many times must the cannon balls fly  
Before they’re forever banned  
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind  
The answer is blowin’ in the wind

8. Now the place is ringed with countless foes  
Some of them may be deaf and dumb  
No man, no woman knows  
The hour that sorrow will come  
In the dark I hear the night birds call  
I can feel a lover’s breath  
I sleep in the kitchen with my feet in the hall  
Sleep is like a temporary death

Well, they burned my barn, and they stole my horse  
I can’t save a dime  
I got to be careful, I don’t want to be forced  
Into a life of continual crime  
I can see for myself that the sun is sinking  
How I wish you were here to see  
Tell me now, am I wrong in thinking  
That you have forgotten me?
