Album King of the Delta Blues Singers

I went down to the crossroad

Fell down on my knees

I went down to the crossroad

Fell down on my knees

Asked the lord above

"Have mercy now, save poor Bob, if you please"

Standin' at the crossroad

Tried to flag a ride

I tried to flag a ride

Didn't nobody seem to know me, babe

Everybody pass me by

Standin' at the crossroad, babe

Risin' sun goin' down

Standin' at the crossroad, babe

Risin' sun goin' down

I believe to my soul now,

Poor 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

(Th)'at I got the crosroad blues this mornin' Lord

Babe, I'm sinkin' down

And I went to the crossroad, momma

I looked east and west

I went to the crossroad, baby

I looked east and west

Lord, I didn't have no sweet woman

Well, babe, in my distress

Cross Road blues

Fui a la encrucijada

Cayó de rodillas

Fui a la encrucijada

Cayó de rodillas

Le preguntó al Señor por encima de la misericordia

"Sálvame por favor"

Fui a la encrucijada

Trató de marcar un paseo

Fui a la encrucijada

Trató de marcar un paseo

Nadie parecía conocerme

Todo el mundo me pasó por la

Voy a bajar a Rosedale

Toma mi piloto a mi lado

Voy a bajar a Rosedale

Toma mi piloto a mi lado

Usted todavía puede barrelhouse

Bebé, a orillas del río

Se puede correr, puede ejecutar

Decirle a mi amigo-boy Willie Brown

Se puede correr, puede ejecutar

Decirle a mi amigo-boy Willie Brown

Y yo estoy parado en la encrucijada

Creo que estoy hundiendo
