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

Standin' at the crossroad
I tried to flag a ride
Standin' at the crossroad
I tried to flag a ride
Didn't nobody seen to know me
Everybody pass me by

The Sun goin' down
Boy, dark gon' catch me here
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 I'm standin' at the crossroad, babe
I believe I'm sinkin' down
