        A
I went down to the crossroads
D                    A
Fell down on my knees
D
Down to the crossroads
D                    A
Fell down on my knees
E
Asked the Lord above for mercy
D7                    A
Take me, if you please

I went down to the crossroads tried to flag a ride
Down to the crossroads tried to flag a ride
Nobody seemed to know me, everybody passed me by

Well, I'm going down to Rosedale,
take my rider by my side
Going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
We can still barrelhouse, baby, on the riverside

Going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
Going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
We can still barrel house, baby, on the riverside

You can run, you can run tell my
friend boy Willie Brown
Run, you can run tell my friend boy Willie Brown
And I'm standing at the
crossroads believe I'm sinking down
