Cross Road Blues
Lyrics 
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"

Yeo, standin' at the crossroad, tried to flag a ride
full lyrics... 
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"

Yeo, standin' at the crossroad, tried to flag a ride

And I went to the crossroad, mama, I looked east and west
Publisher: MPCA KING OF SPADES
You can run, you can run, tell my friend, Willie Brown
Didn't nobody seem to know me, babe, everybody pass me by
I went to the crossroad, fell down on my knees
I went to the crossroad, fell down on my knees
Lord, I didn't have no sweet woman, ooh well, babe, in my distress
Yeo, standin' at the crossroad, tried to flag a ride
Standin' at the crossroad, baby, eee, eee, risin' sun goin' down
That I got the crossroad blues this mornin', Lord, babe, I'm sinkin' down
I went to the crossroad, baby, I looked east and west
Standin' at the crossroad, baby, risin' sun goin' down
Asked the Lord above, "Have mercy, now save poor Bob, if you please"
You can run, you can run, tell my friend, Willie Brown
Ooo, eee, I tried to flag a ride
Songwriter: Robert Leroy Johnson
I believe to my soul, now, poor Bob is sinkin' down
