Lyrics

[Florida, jarva et al.]

Over here, fella!

He-hey, you mister! why don't you listen?
A few words from a poor ol' guy now
Just wanna tell you 'bout that thing
That crossed my path changing the course of my life!

You've heard the story and it's true
So one day these boots will walk all over you!

One soul. one man
No fate in a higher hand
One heart. one will
And just one cup to fill

Ok now, mister. I'm gonna make you listen
To this confession of a wrethced kind
Just wanna tell you 'bout that same ol' thing
That got me branded for the rest of my life

You've heard the story and it's true
I might be crazy but I ain't no fool!
These boots will walk all over you!

One soul. one man
No fate in a higher hand
One heart. one will
One cup to fill

You know the story's true
The only thing I'll do
Is standing at the crossroads, babe, yeah!

[Lead - ar - mv]

You've heard the story and it's true
I ain't no clown and I ain't no fool!
You've heard the story and it's true!
One day these boots will walk all over you!

One soul. one man
No fate in a higher hand
One heart. one will
Just one cup to fill
One soul. one man
No fate in a higher hand
One heart. one will
I got but one cup to fill

You know the story's true
The only thing I'll do
Is standing at the crossroads, babe, yeah!
You know this story's true
The only thing that I'm gonna do
Is messing with the crossroads delta blues!
