Cross Road Blues

by Jimmy Dawkins recording of 1976 from Come Back Baby (Storyville 8035) Saw my baby this morning, we were standing at the cross road of love Saw my baby this morning, standing at the cross road of love She didn't wanna talk to me, I know it was someone else she was thinking of I said baby, baby, baby, baby, would you please look around at me I said baby, baby, baby, baby, would you please look around at me You know you're the reason why my heart sums so deep at misery I'm drifting and drifting like a ship way out in the sea I'm drifting and drifting like a ship way out in the sea I'm so hurt and feel bad, down and low, for all the wrong you did to me Come on back now, baby, mama, please give me one more try Come on back, baby, please, get sit and give me one more try You know, you're the only one I love, you can move these tears from my eyes
