Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
"Take me if you please"
[Verse 2]
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 by
[Verse 3]
Well, I'm goin' down to Rosedale
Take my rider by my side
Goin' down to Rosedale
Take my rider by my side
You can still barrelhouse, baby
On the river side
[Verse 4]
Goin' down to Rosedale
Take my rider by my side
Goin' down to Rosedale
Take my rider by my side
You can still barrelhouse, baby
On the river side
[Verse 5]
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 sinkin' down
[Verse 6]
Eric Clapton lead
And vocals
