"Cross Road Blues"
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 now, save poor Bob if you please
Standin` at the crossroads, tried to flag a ride
Whee-hee, I tried to flag a ride
Didn`t nobody seem to know me, everybody pass me by
Standin` at the crossroads, risin` sun goin` down
Standin` at the crossroads baby, the risin` sun goin` down
I believe to my soul now, po` Bob 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
I went to the crossroad, mama, I looked east and west
I went to the crossroad, babe, I looked east and west
Lord, I didn`t have no sweet woman, ooh well, babe, in my distress
"Love in Vain"
And I followed her to the station, with her suitcase in my hand,
And I followed her to the station, with her suitcase in my hand.
Well, it`s hard to tell, it`s hard to tell, when all your love`s in vain,
All my love`s in vain.
When the train rolled up to the station, I looked her in the eye,
When the train rolled up to the station, and I looked her in the eye.
Well, I was lonesome, I felt so lonesome, and I could not help but cry.
All my love`s in vain.
When the train, it left the station, there was two lights on behind,
When the train, it left the station, there was two lights on behind,
Well, the blue light was my baby, and the red light was my mind.
All my love`s in vain.
Uumh, Willie Mae, Uumh, Willie Mae, Uumh uumh,, all my love`s in vain.
