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
He's standin' at the crossroad, tried to flag a ride, I tried to flag a ride
Ain'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, 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, well babe in my distress
