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
And  I'm  going  down  to  Rosedale,take  my  rider  by  my  side
Going  down  to  Rosedale,take  my  rider  by  my  side
You  can  still  barrel  house,baby,on  the  riverside
Going  down  to  Rosedale,take  my  rider  by  my  side
Going  down  to  Rosedale,take  my  rider  by  my  side
You  can  still  barrel  house,baby  on  the  riverside
"You  can  run,you  can  run",tell  my  friend  boy,Willie  Brown
"Run,you  can  run",tell  my  friend  boy  Willie  Brown
And  I'm  standing  at  the  crossroads,believe  I'm  sinking  down
