E7
1. I went down to the crossroads,
   A7                 E7
   fell down on my knees,
   A7
   I went down to the crossrods,
                      E7
   fell down on my knees
   B7                               A7                 E7
   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.
