I went down to the crossroads,
Fell down on my knees.
Yes, down to the crossroads,
Fell down on my knees.
Sweet lord, i'm beggin' for mercy,
Won't you take me, if you please??
I went down to the crossroads,
Tried to flag a ride
You tried that lately??
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 loretta by my side
Yes, down to rosedale,
Take loretta by my side
Do you still have a house, baby,
On the riverside?
Ahhhh, burn it up!!!
(lead break)
Going down to rosedale,
Take loretta by my side.
Yes, down to rosedale,
Take loretta by my side.
Do you still have a house, baby,
On the riverside?
Ohhhh, i got something to believe in.
Stick it!!!
(lead break 2)
Yah.
You can run, you can run.
Tell all my friends, i'll be back.
We'll see y'all again, atlanta.
Take it easy, huh!!!
You can run, you can run.
Tell my friends, i'll be back,
And i'll be standin' in the crossroads
I believe i'm sinkin' down.
Good night everybody.
God bless ya and thank you!!!
Thanks everybody
Good night.
