"Crossroads" lyrics

"Crossroads"
(originally by Robert Johnson)

I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
Down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord above for mercy, "Save me, if You please."

I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride
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 my rider by my side
I'm going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
You can still barrel house baby on the river side

Well, I'm going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
I'm going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
You can still barrel house baby on the river side

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 morning, Lord, baby I'm sinking down

You can run, you can run, tell my friend, boy Willie Brown
Oh run, you can run, tell my friend, boy Willie Brown
And I'm standing at the crossroads, believe I'm sinking down
