[Verse 1]
Well I was standing at the crossroads
With my head hung down and crying
Well I'm standing at the crossroads
With my head hung down and crying
Well I was thinking about my baby
And I know she can't be found

[Verse 2]
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 must be tired of living
I'll put her six feet in the grave

[Verse 3]
I was standing at the crossroads
And my baby's not around
Well I was standing at the crossroads
And my baby's not around
Well I began to wonder
If poor Elmore's sinking down

[Guitar solo]
[Verse 4]
Well I'm standing here waiting baby
With my heart right in my hand
Well I'm standing here waiting baby
With my heart right in my hand
Well I'm thinking about my baby
And she's out with another man
