Oh my brother take this warning don't let old Satan hold your hand

You'll be lost in sin forever you'll never reach the Promised Land

The old crossroad now is waiting which one are you goin' to take

One reach down to destruction the other to the perly gate

[ fiddle ]

One road leads up to heaven the other goes down below

Jesus our Saviour will prodect you he'll guide you by the old crossroad

The old crossroad now...

[ mandolin ]

Soon your life will be over you'll have to face the old crossroad

Will you be ready then my brother to shine the ones those down below

The old crossroad now...
