[Verse 1]
I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
I went down to the crossroad, fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord above for mercy, save me if you please"

[Verse 2]
I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride
I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride
Nobody seemed to know me, everybody passed me by
Pass me by

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]
Standin' at the crossroad, baby, the risin' sun goin' down
Standin' at the crossroad, baby, risin' sun goin' down, goin' down
I believe to my soul, now, Lord I'm sinkin' down

[Verse 4]
Whoa, you can run, you can run, you can hide but you'll be found, you'll be found
You can run, you can run, you can hide but you'll be found
I'm standing at the crossroads, I believe I'm sinking down
