Crossroads Blues Again

Yeah, I walked to the crossroads

Dropped down on my knees

Whispered mercy all above

Won’t you hear a poor man’s plea

I was standing at the crossroads

Trying hard to hitch a ride

Lord, I was standing at the crossroads

Trying all the flags I tried

But every wagon rolled right past me

Not a soul looked in my mind

The sun was sinking slowly

Laying shadows on the ground

Yes, the sun was falling low

Laying shadows on the ground

Felt it singing in my spirit

Like I’m bound for going down

Ooh, crossroad blues again

God, those blues again

Ain’t no sweet woman on my side

Just left alone somehow

You can run, you can hurry

Go and tell Willie Brown

Yes, you can run, you can hurry

Go and tell my good friend Willie Brown

Tell him the blues came early morning

And they keep on dragging me down

I looked east, I looked west

Didn’t know where to rest my head

Yes, I looked east and west

Nowhere safe to lay my head

Every road felt cold and empty

Full of worry, fear, and dread

Crossroad

A poor man wandering

Trying to find his way

So I’m waiting at the crossroads

Praying I don’t close too fast

Yes, I’m standing at the crossroads

Hoping I won’t fall too fast

If the Lord don’t mind my troubles tomorrow

Treat me kind and let me last

Crossroad blues again

Crossroad blues again

Singing down

Singing down
