Lyrics

People, I was standing at the crossroads
With my head hung down and cryin'
Yes, standing at the crossroads
With my head hung down and cryin'
Well I was lookin' for my baby
And I know she's not around
I work hard for my baby, she treat me like a slave
I work hard for my baby, she treat me like a slave
Yeah, she was be tired of livin', I'll put her six feet in the grave
Well, I was standing at the crossroads and my baby's not around
Standing at the crossroads and my baby's not around
Well, I began to wonder if old Elmore's sinking down
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Well, I was standing here waiting, baby
With my heart right in my hand
Yes, standing here waiting, baby
With my heart right in my hand
Well, I was looking for my baby
She was with another man
