I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
Down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
I said, I'm beggin' for mercy, if you please?"
I went down to the crossroads, tried to beg a ride
Down to the crossroads, tried to beg a ride
Nobody seemed to know me, everybody passed me by
I wanna take a ride
Going down to Rosedale, take by my side
Going down to Rosedale, take by my side
Can still buy a house baby, on the riverside
One more time
You can run, you can run, tell my friends I'll be by
You can run, you can run, tell my friends I'll be by
And I'm standing at the crossroads, believe I'm sinking down
