Lyrics Robert Johnson – Cross Road Blues (Alternate Take)
Text:
I went to the crossroad, fell down on my knees
I went to the crossroad, fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord above «Have mercy, save poor Bob, if you please»
Mmm, standin’ at the crossroad, I tried to flag a ride
Standin’ at the crossroad, I tried to flag a ride
Didn’t nobody seem to know me, everybody pass me by
Didn’t nobody seem to know me, everybody pass me by
Mmm, the sun goin’ down, boy, dark gon’ catch me here
Ooo, oooeee, boy, dark gon’ catch me here
I haven’t got no lovin’ sweet woman that love and feel my care
You can run, you can run, tell my friend-boy Willie Brown
You can run, tell my friend-boy Willie Brown
Lord, that I’m standin’ at the crossroad, babe, I believe I’m sinkin’ down
