Martin Scorsese Best of the Blues movie - Cross Road Blues lyrics

rate me

Song by Robert Johnson<br /><br>

I went to the crossroad, fell down on my knees<br>

I went to the crossroad, fell down on my knees<br>

Asked the Lord above "Have mercy, now save poor Bob, if you please"<br>

<br>

Yeoo, standin' at the crossroad, tried to flag a ride<br>

Ooo eeee, I tried to flag a ride<br>

Didn't nobody seem to know me, babe, everybody pass me by<br>

<br>

Standin' at the crossroad, baby, risin' sun goin' down<br>

Standin' at the crossroad, baby, eee, eee, risin' sun goin' down<br>

I believe to my soul, now, poor Bob is sinkin' down<br>

<br>

You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown<br>

You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown<br>

That I got the crossroad blues this mornin', Lord, babe, I'm sinkin' down<br>

<br>

And I went to the crossroad, mama, I looked east and west<br>

I went to the crossroad, baby, I looked east and west<br>

Lord, I didn't have no sweet woman, ooh well, babe, in my distress<br>

<br>
