[Intro]
Will, I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
Will, I went down to the crossroads, I fell down on my knees
And I asked the Lord for mercy
I said, take me if you please

[Verse 1]
Will, I went down to the crossroads, I tried to flag a ride
Will, I went down to the crossroads, I tried to flag a ride
Nobody seemed to know me, everybody passed me by

[Instrumental Bridge]
(Oh!)

[Outro]
You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown
You can run, you can run, but tell my friend Willie Brown
(But tell him about, ah yeah...)
That I'm standing at the crossroads
I believe I'm sinking down
