Lyrics

I went down to the crossroads
Fell down on my knees
I went down to the crossroads
Fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord above for mercy, woo-ooh
Save me, if you please
I went down to the crossroads
Tried to flag a ride
Went down to the crossroads
Tried to flag a ride
Nobody seemed to know me, woo-ooh
Everybody passed me by
I am going down to Rosedale
Take my rider by my side
Oh, I am going down to Rosedale
Take my rider by my side
And we can still barrel house, baby, woo-ooh
Up on the riverside
And you can run, you can run
Tell my friend-boy Willie Brown
You can run, you can run
Tell my friend-boy Willie Brown
Tell him that I am standing at the crossroads, woo-ooh
I believe I am sinking down
