Dion - Ride's Blues lyrics

rate me

Hit you on the back road, man with his guitar

Said take me to the crossroads, crossroads aint that far

He said you come up from the delta, He said he like my car

He told me on the way there, he was born in sin

(What else is new?)

I said I ride that road yeah and, I know just where you been

I don't know where I'm headed, I can't go back again

You tell me what you got now, I'll tell you what you've lost

Tell me what you bought now, tell me what it cost

Look out of your window, gone like morning frost

Now I took him to the crossroad, I took him down that day

Left him at the crossroads, saw him kneel and pray

In my rear view mirror, I watched him fade away

You know back in town they're talking, they say he sold his soul

Say he died for nothing, they dumped him in a hole

You know they talking, so they dumped in a hole

He must be burning they say, burning black as coal

[Guitar solo]

I said they don't know nothing, they don't know that man's blood

I say I saw that man rise from Mississippi mud

I said that man was clean, as Jack from Jordan's flood

He went down to the crossroads, and fell down on his knees

Yes Lord above have mercy, he said save poor Bob if you please

He sure is star in heaven, burning 'bove the seas

He sure is star in heaven, burning bright above the seas.
