From the recording All Aboard The Slo Train
Robert Johnson's classic song is one of the cornerstones of modern day rock and blues. We were inspired by Tom Hanway's bluegrass version.
Lyrics
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, save poor Bob, if you please"
Standin' at the crossroad, I tried to flag a ride
Standin' at the crossroad, I tried to flag a ride
Nobody seemed to know me, babe, everybody passed me by
Sun goin down Lord, dark gonna catch me here.
Sun goin down Lord, dark gonna catch me here.
Ain't got no lovin woman, noone to ease my care.
Goin down to Roseville, take my rider by my side.
Goin down to Roseville, take my rider by my side.
You can barrelhouse baby, down by the riverside.
You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown
You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown
I'm standin at the crossroad, I believe I'm sinkin' down.
