Crossroads Lyrics

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 on poor me if you please.

Standin' at the crossroads, tried to flag a ride
I went down to the crossroad, tried to flag a ride
Didn't nobody seem to know me, but everybody pass me by

Standin' at the crossroads baby, risin' sun goin' down
I'm standin' at the crossroads baby; see the risin' sun goin' down
I believe my soul now - poor me 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

You can run, you can run, just tell my friend Wily Brown
Ya, you can run, you can run, just tell my friend Wily Brown
That I got the crossroad boots this mornin' baby

And I'm slowly sinkin' down, down, down, down
I went to the crossroad, babe, I looked east and west
I went to the crossroad, babe, I looked east I looked west
Lord, I didn't have no sweet man, to hold me in my distress

All Through The Night

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 on poor me if you please.

Standin' at the crossroads, tried to flag a ride
I went down to the crossroad, tried to flag a ride
Didn't nobody seem to know me, but everybody pass me by

Standin' at the crossroads baby, risin' sun goin' down
I'm standin' at the crossroads baby; see the risin' sun goin' down
I believe my soul now - poor me 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

You can run, you can run, just tell my friend Wily Brown
Ya, you can run, you can run, just tell my friend Wily Brown
That I got the crossroad boots this mornin' baby

And I'm slowly sinkin' down, down, down, down
I went to the crossroad, babe, I looked east and west
I went to the crossroad, babe, I looked east I looked west
Lord, I didn't have no sweet man, to hold me in my distress

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
