(Robert Johnson)

I went down to the crosroads

Fell down on my knees

Down to the crossroads

Fell down on my knees

I said I'm beggin' for mercy won't you take me

If you please



I went down to the crossroads

Tried to beg a ride

I went down to the crossroads

Tried to beg a ride

Nobody seemed to know me

Everybody passed me by

Take a ride



Going down toward Rosedale

Took Loretta by my side

Going down to Rosedale

Took Loretta by my side

Can still buy a house there

On the riverside

One more time



You can run, you can run

Tell all my friends I'll be by

You can run, you can run

Tell my friends I'll be by

And I'll be stayin' in the crossroads

I believe I'm sinkin' down
