I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees 
A7                                                  E7 
I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees 
B7                               A7                   E7 
Ask the lord up above for mercy, take me if you please.

I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride 
A7                                                 E7 
I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride 
B7                        A7                     E7 
Nobody seemed to know me, everybody passed me by.

Well I'm going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side 
A7                                                       E7

You can run, you can run, tell my friends I'll be around 
A7                                              E7 
Run, you can run, tell my friends I'll be around 
B7                                   A7                  E7 
Well I'm standing at the crossroads, believe I'm sinking down.
