Lyrics:

I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord for mercy, 'Help me if you please'
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

You can run, you can run
Tell my friend-boy, Willie Brown
You can run, you can run
Tell my friend-boy, Willie Brown
And I'm staying at the crossroads
Believe I'm sinking down
