Cream - Crossroads (Royal Albert Hall 2005) (15 of 22)

We are nearing the five O'clock hour here on the East Coast and as part of my Music Interlude I want to leave you with a good rockin' song by 'Cream' titled "Crossroads" which was performed at the Royal Albert Hall in London in 2005. Note that Eric Clapton was a member of this group before it disbanded and move on to become successful in his own right...

LYRICS:

"Crossroads"
(originally by Robert Johnson)

I went down to the crossroads
Fell down on my knees
Down to the crossroads
Fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord above for mercy
"Save me, if you please"

I went down to the crossroads
Tried to flag a ride
Down to the crossroads
Tried to flag a ride
Nobody seemed to know me
Everybody passed me by

Well, I'm going down to Rosedale
Take my rider by my side
Going down to Rosedale
Take my rider by my side
You can still barrelhouse, baby
On the riverside

Going down to Rosedale
Take my rider by my side
Going down to Rosedale
Take my rider by my side
You can still barrelhouse, baby
On the riverside

You can run, you can run
Tell my friend boy Willie Brown
Run, you can run
Tell my friend boy Willie Brown
And I'm standing at the crossroads
Believe I'm sinking down
