Crossroads Lyrics

I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees

Down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees

Asked the Lord above for mercy, "Take me if you please."

I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride

Down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride

Nobody seemed to know me, everybody passed me by.

Well, I'm going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side.

Going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side.

You can still barrelhouse, baby, on the riverside


I'm going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side

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 poor Willie Brown.

Run, you can run, tell my friend poor Willie Brown.

And I'm standing at the crossroads, believe I'm sinking down.
