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 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

I'm going down to Rosedale

Take my rider by my side

I'm going down to Rosedale

Take my rider by my side

You can still barrelhouse

Baby, on 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

And I'm standing at the crossroads

Believe I'm sinking down
