Crossroads [A]

Robert Johnson

I went down to the crossroad, I fell down on my knees
Down at the crossroad, I fell down on my knees
I asked the good Lord above "won't you help this poor boy, if you please"

Down at the crossroad, I looked east and west
Down at the crossroad, I looked east and west
Nobody but the Devil there to tell me which way gonna be the best

[solos]

Down at the crossroad, I tried to flag a ride
Down at the crossroad, I tried to flag a ride
Nobody seemed to know me, everybody done passed me by

[solos]

I'm going down to Rosedale, got my rider by my side
Going down to Rosedale, got my rider by my side
We can still barrelhouse baby, down by the riverside

[solos]

You can run, you can run, tell my friend-boy Willie Brown
Run, you can run, tell my friend-boy Willie Brown
Tell him I'm down at the crossroads and I believe I'm sinking down
