Crossroads
I went to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
I went to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord above, have mercy now
Save poor Bob if you please
Standin' at the crossroads, tried to flag a ride
Whee-hee, I tried to flag a ride
Didn't nobody seem to know me, everybody pass me by
Standin' at the crossroads, risin' Sun goin' down
Standin' at the crossroads baby, the 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
That I got the crossroad blues this mornin'
Lord, baby I'm sinkin' down
I went to the crossroad, mama, I looked east and west
I went to the crossroad, babe, I looked east and west
Lord, I didn't have no sweet woman, ooh well
Babe, in my distress
Encrucijada
Fui a la encrucijada, caí de rodillas.
Fui a la encrucijada, caí de rodillas.
Pregunté al Señor arriba por misericordia, 'Sálvame si puedes.'
Fui a la encrucijada, traté de hacer dedo.
Fui a la encrucijada, traté de hacer dedo.
Nadie parecía conocerme, todos me pasaban de largo.
Voy a Rosedale, con mi compañera a mi lado.
Voy a Rosedale, con mi compañera a mi lado.
Todavía puedes bailar, nena, en la orilla del río.
Puedes correr, puedes correr, dile a mi amigo Willie Brown.
Puedes correr, puedes correr, dile a mi amigo Willie Brown.
Y estoy parado en la encrucijada, creo que estoy hundiéndome.
