Crossroads Lyrics

I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees.
I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees.
Begged the Lord above for mercy, “Save me if you please.”

Well, I went down to the crossroads, tried to play it right.
I went down to the crossroads, tried to play it right.
Nobody seemed to know me, everybody passed on by.

Down at the crossroads, I saw the sun sinking down.
I went down to the crossroads, I saw the sun sinking down.
Lord above your mercy, I need your mercy now.

I went down to the crossroads, I looked East and West.
I went down to the crossroads, I looked East and West.
I finally looked to heaven, to the One who loved me best.

I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees.
I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees.
I begged the Lord for mercy, “Won't You save me if you please.”
