Well I'm standin' at the crossroads
With my head hung down and cryin'
Well I'm standin' at the crossroads
With my head hung down and cryin'
Well I was thinkin' about my baby
And I know she can't be found

I work hard for my baby
And she treats me like a slave
I work hard for my baby
And she treats me like a slave
Well she was be tired of livin'
I'll put her six feet in the grave

Well I'm standin' at the crossroads
And my baby's not around
Well I'm standin' at the crossroads
And my baby's not around
I began to wonder
If this is Elmore's second down

I' standin' here waitin' baby
With my heart right in my hand
I' standin' here waitin' baby
With my heart right in my hand
I'm thinkin' about my baby
And she's out with another man
