Lyrics

I went down to the cross roads,

fell down on my knees.

I went down to the cross roads,

fell down on my knees.

that I’m Asked (F#m)the Lord for mer cy,

“Help me, if you please.”

I went down to the cross roads,

tried to flag a ride.

I went down to the cross roads,

tried to flag a ride.

that I’m No (F#m)the Lord for mer cy,

“Help me, if you please.”

I went down (F#m)one seemed to know me, ev (D)’ry bod y passed me by.

You can run, you can run; roads,

tell my friend Wil ly

You can run, you can run; roads,

tell my friend Wil ly

that I’m stand (F#m)the Lord for mer cy,

“Help me, if you please.”

I went down (F#m)one seemed to know me, ev (D)’ry bod y passed me by.

You can run, (F#m)ing at the cross roads.

I be (D)lieve I’m sink ing down.
