Crossroads

I went to the crossroads

Fell down on my knees

I went to the crossroads

Fell down on my knees

I asked the lord above

"Have mercy on poor me, if you please"

Standing at the crossroad

Tried to flag a ride

I went down to the crossroad

Tried to flag a ride

Didn't nobody seem to know me but

Everybody passed me by

Standing at the crossroad, baby

Rising sun going down

I'm standing at the crossroad, baby

See the rising sun going down, down

I believe in my soul, now

Poor me, poor me is sinking down

You can run, you can run

Just tell my friend Willie Brown

You can run, you can run

Just tell my friend Willie Brown

That I got the crossroad blues

This morning, Lord, baby

And I'm slowly sinking down

Down, down, down, down, down

And I went down to the crossroad

And I looked east and west

I went to the crossroad, baby

I looked east I looked west

Lord, I didn't have me no sweet man

To hold me in my distress
