Standing at the Crossroads (1954)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well I was standing at the crossroads With my head hung down and crying Well I'm standing at the crossroads With my head hung down and crying Well I was thinking about my baby And I know she can't be found [Verse 2] 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 Well she must be tired of living I'll put her six feet in the grave [Verse 3] I was standing at the crossroads And my baby's not around Well I was standing at the crossroads And my baby's not around Well I began to wonder If poor Elmore's sinking down [Guitar solo] [Verse 4] Well I'm standing here waiting baby With my heart right in my hand Well I'm standing here waiting baby With my heart right in my hand Well I'm thinking about my baby And she's out with another man
