Robert Johnson, born Robert Leroy Johnson (May 8, 1911 -- August 16, 1938) is among the most famous Delta blues musicians. His landmark recordings from 1936--1937 display a remarkable combination of singing, guitar skills, and songwriting talent that have influenced generations of musicians. Johnson's shadowy, poorly documented life and death at age 27 have given rise to much legend.Here he is singing "Cross road blues (take 2)" in this recently discovered rare movie LOL.RegardsJim Clark All rights are reserved on this video recording copyright Jim Clark 2007Cross Road BluesI went down to the crossroad fell down on my knees I went down to the crossroad fell down on my knees Asked the lord above "Have mercy now save poor Bob if you please"Yeeooo, standin at the crossroad tried to flag a rideooo ooo eee I tried to flag a rideDidn't nobody seem to know me babe everybody pass me byStandin at the crossroad babe risin sun goin downStandin at the crossroad babe eee eee eee, risin sun goin downI believe to my soul now, Poor Bob is sinkin downYou can run, you can run tell my friend Willie BrownYou can run, you can run tell my friend Willie Brown(th)'at I got the croosroad blues this mornin Lord babe, I'm sinkin downAnd I went to the crossraod momma I looked east and westI went to the crossraod baby I looked east and westLord, I didn't have no sweet woman ooh-well babe, in my distress
