Lyrics
I went down to the crossroads,
(D7)fell down on my knees.
Down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees.
(E7)Asked the Lord above for mercy,
(D7)save 'ry me y if you please.
(A7)I went down to the crossroads,
(D7)tried to flag a ride.
Down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride.
(E7)Nobody a seemed to know me,
(D7)save 'ry me y if me by.
(A7)I went down down to Rosedale,
(D7)take my rider by (A7)my side.
Goin' down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side.
You can (E7)still barrelhouse, baby, (D7)on the riverside.
(A7)You can run, you can run.
(D7)Tell my friend, poor Willie Brown.
Run, you can run.
Tell my friend, poor Willie Brown.
And I'm (E7)standin' at the crossroads,
(D7)believe I'm sinkin' down.
