Dion - Ride's Blues (For Robert Johnson) lyrics

Hitcher on the back road, man with his guitar
Said take me to the crossroads
Crossroads ain't that far
He said he 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 rearview 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 Bobby if you please

He sure is star in heaven
Burning 'bove the seas
He sure is star in heaven
Burning bright above the seas
