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
I went down to the crossroads
Fell down on my knees
I went down to the crossroads
Fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord above for mercy
Save me ifyou please
I am goin' down to Rosedale
Take my rider by my side
I am goin' down to Rosedale
Take my rider by my side
You can still barrelhouse baby
By the riverside
You can run, you can run
Tell my friend boy Willie Brown
You can run, you can run
Tell my friend boy Willie Brown
When I'm standin'
At the crossroads
Believe I'm sinkin' down
