Standing at the Crossroads

Standing at the Crossroads - Elmore James

Well I'm standin' at the crossroads

With my head hung down and cryin'

Well I'm standin' at the crossroads

With my head hung down and cryin'

Well I was thinkin' about my baby

And I know she can't be found

I work hard for my baby

And she treats me like a slave

I work hard for my baby

And she treats me like a slave

She must be tired of livin'

I'll put her six feet in the grave

Well I'm standin' at the crossroads

And my baby's not around

Standin' at the crossroads

And my baby's not around

I began to wonder

If this is Elmore's second down

I' standin' here waitin' baby

With my heart right in my hand

I' standin' here waitin' baby

With my heart right in my hand

I'm thinkin' about my baby

And she's out with another man
