Crossroads

Original Lyrics

I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knee
I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knee
Asked the lord above for mercy, take 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
Well, I’m going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
I’m going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
We can still barrel-house, baby, on the riverside
You can run, you can run, tell my friend, ol’ Willie Brown
You can run, you can run, tell my friend, ol’ Willie Brown
And I’m standing at the crossroads, I believe I’m sinking down

Lyrics: live 1993/07/23

I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knee

I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knee

Asked the lord above for mercy, take 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

Well, i'm going down to rosedale, take my rider by my side

I'm going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side

We can still barrelhouse, baby, on the riverside

You can run, you can run, tell my friend, ol' Willie Brown

You can run, you can run, tell my friend, ol' Willie Brown

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