I went to the crossroads. Fell down on my knees. I went to the crossroads. Fell down on my knees. I asked the lord above. "Have mercy on poor me if you please". Standing at the crossroad. Tried to flag a ride. I went down to the crossroad. Tried to flag a ride. Didn´t nobody seem to know me but. Everybody passed me by. Standing at the crossroad baby. Rising sun going down. I´m standing at the crossroad baby. See the rising sun going down down. I believe in my soul now. Poor me poor me is sinking down. You can run you can run. Just tell my friend Willie Brown. You can run you can run. Just tell my friend Willie Brown. That I got the crossroad blues. This morning Lord baby. And I´m slowly sinking down. Down down down down down. And I went down to the crossroad. And I looked east and west. I went to the crossroad baby. I looked east I looked west. Lord I didn´t have me no sweet man. To hold me in my distress
