Cross Road Blues (take 1) Lyrics - Robert Johnson

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" 

Ooh, standin' at the crossroad, tried to flag a ride 

Ooh-ee, I tried to flag a ride 

Didn't nobody seem to know me, babe, everybody pass me by 

Standin' at the crossroad, baby, risin' sun goin' down 

Standin' at the crossroad, baby, eee-eee, risin' sun goin' down 

I believe to my soul, now, poor 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, babe, I'm sinkin' down
