Psalm 137

 

In die mooie

Stad van Babel

Zaten wij aan

De rivier.

 

O, wij hingen -

Diepbedroefden -

Aan de wilgen

Onze lier.

 

De bewakers,

Onze beulen,

Vroegen smalend

Om een lied.

 

Maar hoe kunnen

Bannelingen

Vrolijk zingen?

Nee, dat niet!

 

Als ik jou ooit

Mocht vergeten,

Sions stad,

Jeruzalem.

 

Dat mijn tong dan,

Stomgeworden,

Nooit meer spreekt

Als in een klem.

 

Maar de dag zal

Weldra komen

’t wordt de dag van

Onze wraak

 

Want dan zal de

Babyloniër

Luidop wenen

Om zijn zaak.

Highway 61 Revisited

 

Yeah

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

 

Georgia Sam, he had a bloody nose
Welfare Department wouldn't give him no clothes
He asked poor Howard, "Where can I go?"
Howard said, "There's only one place I know"
Sam said, "Tell me quick man, I got to run"
And then he pointed out with his gun
That ol' Highway 61

 

Well, Mack the Finger said to Louie the King
"I got 40 red white and blue shoe strings
And a thousand telephones that don't ring
Do you know where I can possibly get rid of these things"
Louis the King said, "Let me think for a minute son”

And he said yes I think it can be easily done
Just take everything down to Highway 61

 

 

Now the fifth daughter on the twelfth night

Told the first father that things weren’t right

My complexion she said is much too white

He said come here and step into the light he says hhhm you’re right
let me tell the second mother that this has been done"
But the second mother was with the seventh son
And they were both out on Highway 61

 

Oh, the rovin' gambler, he was very bored
Tryin' to create a next world war
He found a promoter who nearly fell on the floor
He said, "I never did engage in this kind of thing before, but
Yes, I think it can be very easily done
We need to put some bleachers out in the sun
And have it on Highway 61"
