    Lyrics:
    I went to the crossroad, fell down on my knees
    I went to the crossroad, fell down on my knees
    Asked the Lord above, "Have mercy, save poor Bob if you please"
    Mmmm, standin' at the crossroad, I tried to flag a ride
    Standin' at the crossroad, I tried to flag a ride
    Didn't nobody seem to know me, everybody pass me by
    Mmmm, the sun goin' down boy, dark goin' catch me here
    Oooo ooee eeee, boy dark goin' catch me here
    I haven't got no lovin' sweet woman that love and feel my care
    You can run, you can run, tell my friend boy Willie Brown
    You can run, tell my friend boy Willie Brown
    Lord that I'm standing at the crossroad, babe
    I believe I'm sinkin' down

      "No Robert Johnson, No Rock N' Roll" No. The rock and roll sound ("Rock The Joint" Jimmy Preston 1949, "Rock That Boogie" Jimmy Smith 1949, "Boogie At Midnight" Roy Brown 1949, "Hole In The Wall" Albennie Jones 1949, etc.) was invented by jump blues musicians who generally had little interest in acoustic guitarists whose records hadn't sold well about a decade earlier.

    Without Robert Johnson we would not have awesome rock-and-roll superstars.
    He may have lived in Chicago but he was born in and grew up in Mississippi decades before the Civil Rights Era.
    They didn't make music videos then, and we might never know for sure how he got to playing such awesome chords.

    Interesting thing I noticed in my research is that in one video on here of Son House talking about Robert, he says that RJ couldn't play worth spit until he went to Arkansas for about 6-9 months, and when he came back he could play his ass off. However, in the book "Deep Blues" by Robert Palmer, it's written that RJ actually returned home to Hazlehurst in south MS (not Arkansas) during that period of time, married an older woman and took guitar lessons under Ike Zinneman (so there was no devil).

      Except to understand it, you need to have lived throught the hardship of being black in the 1930s deep south and systemic racism being the norm. Calling this "Devil's music" reinforces the racist views on black men putting them to blame for "inventing it".

    When you add mysticism to your character, it attracts an audience.
    Imagine you’re living in small town where nothing exciting ever goes down.
    So the common folk create these tales to add a little “magic” into their lives.
    The reality is there’s was probably a lot of hard work and dedication to his craft that nobody saw.
    Most common people never pay attention to hard work. They only care about the results.
    So they create these tales or say things like “He got lucky”
    There is no luck and there is no shortcuts in life. Behind every great artist is endless hours of practice.

      Maybe, but I doubt it. Then his voice wouldn't sound right. The whole thing wouldn't sound right. Not sure if they had the technology to do over dubs. Like if they played the sped up guitar part and then had him sing over the faster guitar part. I think about all they could do back then was record the whole thing in one take. 🤷‍♂
