Robert Johnson: Crossroad Blues

“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

Mmmmm, standin’ at the crossroad

    I tried to flag a ride

Standin’ at the crossroad

    I tried to flag a ride

Didn’t nobody seem to know me

    everybody pass me by

Mmm, the sun goin’ down, boy

    dark gon’ catch me here

oooo ooee eeee

    boy, dark gon’ catch me here

I haven’t got no lovin’ sweet woman that

    love and feel my care

You can run, you can run

    tell my friend-boy Willie Brown

You can run, you can run

    tell my friend-boy Willie Brown

Lord, that I’m standin’ at the crossroad, babe

    I believe I’m sinkin’ down”
