Crossroad Blues Songtext
von Rory Block

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, now save poor Bob, if you please"

Yeoo, standin′ at the crossroad, tried to flag a ride
Ooo eeee, I tried to flag a ride
Didn't nobody seem to know me, babe, everybody pass me by


Standin′ at the crossroad, baby, risin' sun goin' down
Standin′ at the crossroad, baby, eee, eee, risin′ sun goin' down
I believe to my soul, now, poor Bob is sinkin′ down

You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown
You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown
That I got the crossroad blues this mornin', Lord, babe, I′m sinkin' down

And I went to the crossroad, mama, I looked east and west
I went to the crossroad, baby, I looked east and west
Lord, I didn′t have no sweet woman, ooh well, babe, in my distress
