Ride's Blues (for Robert Johnson)

Ride's Blues (for Robert Johnson) - Dion

Hitcher on the back road

Man with his guitar

Said take me to the crossroads

Crossroads ain't that far

He said you come up from the delta

He said he liked my car

He told me on the way there

He was born in sin

What else is new

I said I ride that road yeah and

I know just where you been

I don't know where I'm headed

I can't go back again

You tell me what you got now

I'll tell you what you've lost

Tell me what you bought now

Tell me what it cost

Look out of your window

Gone like morning frost

You know I took him to the crossroad

I took him down that day

Left him at the crossroads

Saw him kneel and pray

In my rear view mirror

I watched him fade away

You know back in town they're talking

They say he sold his soul

They say he died for nothing

They dumped him in the hole

You know they're talking

Say they dumped in a hole

He must be burning they say

Burning black as coal

I said they don't know nothing

They don't know that man's blood

I say I saw that man rise from mississippi mud

I said that man was clean

As Jack from Jordan's flood

He went down to the crossroad

And fell down on his knees

Yes lord above have mercy

He said save poor bob if you please

He sure is star in heaven

Burning 'bove the seas

He sure is star in heaven

Burning bright above the seas
