Crossroads

I went down to the crossroads, fell down on 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 went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride

I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride

Nobody seemed to know me, everybody passed me by

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 barrelhouse, baby, on the riverside

You can run, you can run, tell my friend-boy Willie Brown

You can run, you can run, tell my friend-boy Willie Brown

And I'm standing at the crossroads, believe I'm sinking down
