Crossroads

I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride
I went down to the crossroads, just tried to flag myself a ride
And nobody seemed to know me, Lord, everybody passed on by

I went down to the crossroads, fell down upon my knees
I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord above for mercy, "Save me if you please"

I'm going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
I'm going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
You can still barrel-house, darling, way over on the riverside

You can run, you can run, tell my friend-boy Willie Brown
Run, you can run, tell my friend-boy Willie Brown
And I'm standing at the crossroads, believe I'm sinking down
