I went down to the crossroads
Fell down on my knees
I went down to the crossroads
Fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord above for mercy, woo-ooh
Save me, if you please
I went down to the crossroads
Tried to flag a ride
Went down to the crossroads
Tried to flag a ride
Nobody seemed to know me, woo-ooh
Everybody passed me by
I am going down to Rosedale
Take my rider by my side
Oh, I am going down to Rosedale
Take my rider by my side
And we can still barrel house, baby, woo-ooh
Up on the riverside
And you can run, you can run
Tell my friend-boy Willie Brown
You can run, you can run
Tell my friend-boy Willie Brown
Tell him that I am standing at the crossroads, woo-ooh
I believe I am sinking down

It is to sample music that blah148 made from 2024 to 2025, in large part with inspiration from the players transcribed for this project. Though, having said this, an imposition isn’t meant; if it’s preferred not to listen, that’s okay — the on-site tablature above remains available.
