Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I went to the cross road, fell down on my knees
I went to the cross road, fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord above, have mercy
Save poor Bob if you please
[Verse 2]
Mmmm, standin' at the cross road
I tried to flag a ride
Standin' at the cross road
I tried to flag a ride
Ain't nobody seem to know me
Everybody pass me by
[Verse 3]
And the sun goin' down, boy
Lord gonna catch me young
Yee, whoa, don't go catch me young
[Verse 4]
Haven't got no lovin' sweet woman left
Lord, the clear mark em'
You can run, you can run
Tell my friend poor Willie Brown
[Verse 5]
You can run
Tell my friend poor Willie Brown
Lord, that I'm standin' to cross road, babe
I believe I'm sankin' down
