I went [A7] down to the crossroads, [A7] ... fell down on my [A7] knees. [A7]
I went [D7] down to the crossroads, [D7] ... fell down on my [A7] knees. [A7]
Well I [E7] asked the Lord to have mercy, [D7] ... "Save me if you [A7] please." [A7]
I went [A7] down to the crossroads, [A7] ... tried to flag a [A7] ride. [A7]
I went [D7] down to the crossroads, [D7] ... tried to flag a [A7] ride. [A7]
Nobody [E7] seemed to know me, [D7] ... everybody passed me [A7] by. [A7]
I'm [A7] going down to Rosedale, [A7] ... take my rider by my [A7] side. [A7]
I'm [D7] going down to Rosedale, [D7] ... take my rider by my [A7] side. [A7]
You can [E7] still barrelhouse darlin', [D7] ... cos'a mama is'a on the river- [A7] side. [A7]
You can [A7] run, you can run, [A7] ... tell my friend, po'r Willie [A7] Brown. [A7]
You can [D7] run, you can run, [D7]... tell my friend, po'r Willie [A7] Brown. [A7]
I am [E7] standing at the crossroads, [D7]... believe I'm sink-ing [A7] down. [A7]
