It's really insane, even the best covers of this song are never able to recreate that harmony , His music had a small, but influential, following during his life and many decades after his death .



Lyrics :

[Verse 1]

I went to the crossroad, fell down on my knees

I went to the crossroad, fell down on my knees

Asked the Lord above, "Have mercy now

Save poor Bob if you please"

[Verse 2]

Yeoo, standin' at the crossroad, tried to flag a ride

Ooo eeee, I tried to flag a ride

Didn't nobody seem to know me, babe, everybody pass me by

[Verse 3]

Standin' at the crossroad, baby, risin' sun goin' down

Standin' at the crossroad, baby, eee, eee, risin' sun goin' down

I believe to my soul, now, poor Bob is sinkin' down

[Verse 4]

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

Babe, I am sinkin' down

[Verse 5]

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

Oh well, babe, in my distance.
