Crossroad Blues - Original - Robert Johnson

I went to the crossroads, fell down on my knees

I went to the crossroads, fell down on my knees

Asked the Lord above, have mercy now, save poor Bob if you please

Standin’at the crossroads, tried to flag a ride

Whee-hee, I tried to flag a ride

Didn’t nobody seem to know me, everybody pass me by Standin’at the crossroads, risin’sun goin’down

Standin’at the crossroads baby, the risin’sun goin’down

I believe to my soul now, po’Bob is sinkin’down

You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown

You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown

That I got the crossroad blues this mornin', Lord, baby I’m sinkin’down

I went to the crossroad, mama, I looked east and west

I went to the crossroad, babe, I looked east and west

Lord, I didn’t have no sweet woman, ooh well, babe, in my distress
