I went down to the crossroad Fell down on my knees I went down to the crossroad Fell down on my knees
Asked the lord above Have mercy now, save poor Bob, if you please Standin' at the crossroad Tried to flag a ride
I tried to flag a ride Didn't nobody seem to know me, babe Everybody pass me by Standin' at the crossroad, babe Risin' sun goin' down Standin' at the crossroad, babe Risin' sun goin' down
I believe to my soul now, Poor Bob is sinkin' down You can run, you can run Tell my friend Willie Brown
You can run, you can run Tell my friend Willie Brown (Th)'at I got the crosroad blues this mornin' Lord Babe, I'm sinkin' down
And I went to the crossroad, momma I looked east and west I went to the crossroad, baby I looked east and west Lord, I didn't have no sweet woman Well, babe, in my distress
