Lyrics

[Intro]
| G | - | - |

[Verse 1]
D  G
 I went to the crossroad,
fell down on my knees
  C
I went to the crossroad,
fell down on my knees
G                      D
 Asked the Lord above, "Have mercy,
C                            G
 save poor Bob if you please"

[Verse 2]
      G
Mmmm, standin' at the crossroad,
I tried to flag a ride
                     C
Standin' at the crossroad,
                      G
I tried to flag a ride
                  D
Ain't nobody seem to know me,
     C
everybody pass me by

[Verse 3]
G      G
 Mmmm, the sun goin' down boy,
dark goin' catch me here
          C
Ooooh ooh eeee,
                            G
boy dark goin' catch me here
                 D                      C
I haven't got no lovin' sweet woman that love and feel my
    G
care

[Verse 4]
            G
You can run, you can run,
tell my friend boy Willie Brown
        C
You can run,
                               G
tell my friend boy Willie Brown
                          D
Lord that I'm standing at the crossroad,
babe
    C                     G
I believe I'm sinkin' down
