I went to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
Down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord above for mercy, save me if You please
Standin' at the crossroads, tried to flag a ride
Down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride
Nobody seemed to know me, everybody passed me by
Well, I'm going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
I'm going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
You can still barrel house baby, on the river side
Well, I'm going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
I'm going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
You can still barrel house baby, on the river side
You can run, you can run, tell my friend, boy Willie Brown
Oh run, you can run, tell my friend, boy Willie Brown
And I'm standing down the crossroads, believe I'm sinkin' down
