Yeah, standing at the crossroad, tried to flag a ride Oh, yeah, I tried to flag a ride Didn't nobody seem to know me, babe, everybody pass me by
Standing at the crossroad, baby, rising sun going down Standing at the crossroad, baby, yeah, yeah, rising sun going down I believe to my soul, now, poor Bob is sinking 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 morning, Lord, babe, I'm sinking down
And I went to the crossroad, mama, I looked east and west I went to the crossroad, baby, I looked east and west Lold, I didn't have no sweet woman, oh well, babe, in my distress
