1. I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees, I went down to the crossrods, fell down on my knees Ask the Lord up above for mercy, take me if you please. 2. I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride Nobody seems to know me, everybody passed me by. 3. Well I`m going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side Well I`m going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side You can still buy a house, baby, on the riverside. 4. You can run, you can run, tell my friends I`ll be around, Run, you can run, tell my friends I`ll be around, Well I`m standing at the crossroads, believe I`m sinkin` down.
