Standin' at the crossroad, I tried to flag a ride.

Didn't nobody seem to know me, everybody pass me by.

Mmmm, sun goin' down, boy, dark goin' catch me here.

Oooooo ooee eeee, boy, dark goin' catch me here.

I haven't got no lovin' sweet woman that love and feel my care.

You can run, you can run, tell my friend-boy Willie Brown.

You can run, tell my friend-boy Willie Brown.

Lord, that I got the crossroad, babe, I believe I'm sinkin' down.
