I went down to the crosroads
Fell down on my knees
Down to the crossroads
Fell down on my knees
I said I`m beggin` for mercy won`t you take me
If you please
I went down to the crossroads
Tried to beg a ride
I went down to the crossroads
Tried to beg a ride
Nobody seemed to know me
Everybody passed me by
Take a ride
Going down toward Rosedale
Took Loretta by my side
Going down to Rosedale
Took Loretta by my side
Can still buy a house there
On the riverside
One more time
You can run, you can run
Tell all my friends I`ll be by
You can run, you can run
Tell my friends I`ll be by
And I`ll be stayin` in the crossroads
I believe I`m sinkin` down
