Down to the crossroad, fell down on my knees   Down to the crossroad, fell down on my knees   Asked the Lord above "Have mercy, help poor Bob, if you please"      Mmmmm, standin' at the crossroad, well I tried to flag a ride   Standin' at the crossroad, well I tried to flag a ride   Nobody seem to know me, they just pass me by      The sun goin' down, boy, dark gon' catch me here   The sun goin' down, boy, dark gon' catch me here   I haven't got no lovin' sweet woman that love and feel my care      You can run, tell my friend-boy Willie Brown   You can run, you can run tell my friend Willie Brown   I'm standin' at the crossroad, I believe I'm sinkin' down
