Standing At The Crossroads

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Well I'm standin' at the crossroads,

With my head hung down and cryin'

Well I'm standin' at the crossroads,

With my head hung down and cryin'

Well I was thinkin' about my baby,

And I know she can't be found

I work hard for my baby,

And she treats me like a slave

I work hard for my baby,

And she treats me like a slave

Well she must be tired of livin',

I'll put her six feet in the grave

Well I'm standin' at the crossroads,

And my baby's not around

Well I'm standin' at the crossroads,

And my baby's not around

I began to wonder,

If this is Elmore's second down

I' standin' here waitin' baby,

With my heart right in my hand

I' standin' here waitin' baby,

With my heart right in my hand

I'm thinkin' about my baby,

And she's out with another man
