I went down to the crossroad and I
And try to hitch a ride
I went down to the crossroad and I
Try to hitch a ride
Nobody seemed to know me
Ev'rybody passed me by
Went down to the crossroad and I
And I fell down on my knees
I went down to the crossroad and I
I fell down on my knees
Oh well I said oh Lord have mercy would you
Would you help me if you please
(Sing us a song)
Well you can run you can run
Tell my friend boy Willie Brown
Well you can run you can run
Tell my friend boy Willie Brown
Yeah let him standin' at the crossroad
I believe I'm sinkin' down
I went down to the crossroad and I
And try to hitch a ride
I went down to the crossroad and I
Try to hitch a ride
Nobody seemed to know me
Ev'rybody passed me by
