Robert johnson cross road blues (take 2) lyrics

by Robert Johnson

Recording of November 27, 1936

San Antonio, Texas

I went to the crossroad, fell down on my knees

I went to the crossroad, fell down on my knees

Asked the lord above "Have mercy, save poor Bob, if you please"

Mmmmm, standin' at the crossroad, i tried to flag a ride

Standin' at the crossroad, i tried to flag a ride

Didn't nobody semm to know me, everybody pass me by

Mmmm, the sun goin' down, boy, dark gon' catch me here

Oooo, eeee, boy, dark gon' catch me here

I haven't got no lovin' sweet woman that love and feel my care

You can run, you can run, tell my friend-boy Willie Brown

You can run, tell my friend-boy Willie Brown

Lord i'm standin' at the crossroad, babe, i believe i'm sinkin' down
