CROSS ROAD BLUES (take 1)

I went to the crossroad
        fell down on my knees
I went to the crossroad
        fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord above "Have mercy, now
        save poor Bob, if you please".
Yeeoo, standin' at the crossroad
        tried to flag a ride
oooo ooee eeee
        I tried to flag a ride
Didn't nobody seem to know me, babe
        everybody pass me by
Standin' at the crossroad, baby
        risin' sun goin' down
Standin' at the crossroad, baby
        eee eee eee, risin' sun goin' down
I believe to my soul, now
        po' Bob is sinkin' down
You can run, you can run
        tell my friend Willie Brown
You can run, you can run
        tell my friend Willie Brown
'at I got the crossroad blues this mornin', Lord
        babe, I'm sinkin' down
And I went to the crossroad, mama
        I looked east and west
I went to the crossroad, baby
        I looked east and west
Lord, I didn't have no sweet woman
        ooh-well, babe, in my distress


Notes: 1. Webster's defines "at the crossroads" as " at the point where one
                 must choose between different courses of action "and the noun
                "distress" as "the state of being distressed, anything that
                distressed, a state of danger or trouble."
