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

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