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"
Yeoo standin' at the crossroad
Tried to flag a ride
Ooo eeee 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
Lord I didn't have no sweet woman ooh well
Babe in my distress
