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 to please have mercy 
Save me if you please

Standing at the crossroads 
I tried to flag a ride 
Standing at the crossroads 
I tried to flag a ride 
Didn’t nobody seem to know me 
Everybody passed me by 

Sun goin down, dark don’t find me here 
Sun goin down, dark don’t find me here 
Ain’t got no sweet lovin’ woman 
No one to feel my cares
