oooo ooee eeee
    I tried to flag a ride
Didn't nobody seem to know me, babe
    everybody pass me by
Standin' at the crossroad, baby
    risin' sun goin' down
Standin' at the crossroad, baby
    eee eee eee, risin' sun goin' down
I believe to my soul, now
    po' 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
'at I got the crossroad blues this mornin', Lord
    babe, I'm sinkin' down
And I went to the crossroad, mama
    I looked east and west
I went to the crossroad, baby
    I looked east and west
Lord, I didn't have no sweet woman
    ooh-well, babe, in my distress
