I went to the crossroad Fell down on my knees I went to the crossroad Fell down on my knees Asked the lord above Have mercy now save poor bob If you please Yeo standin' at the crossroad Tried to flag a ride Ooo eee i tried to flag a ride Didn't nobody seem to know me babe Everybody pass me by Standin' at the crossroad baby Risin' sun goin' down Standin' at the crossroad baby Eee eee 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 That i got the crossroad blues this mornin' Lord babe i'm sinkin' down And i went to the crossroad mama I looked east and west I went to the crossroad baby I looked east and west I didn't have no sweet woman Ooh well babe in my distress
