D I walked out one night for a ramble round D I didnʼt mean to stay, just to view the town G D When I saw her smiling from afar A D As she walked into that crossroads bar Well I went inside and sat me down Ordered sweet red wine and drank it down She came and sat beside me there With the dark brown eyes and the red, red hair I told her that I loved her true Anything you want, I could surely do She said a man like you wonʼt get too far With a girl like me from the crossroads bar I like smokey lights and a lonesome song And I wonʼt do right if I can do you wrong Youʼre the man above, and Iʼm the darkest star And you wonʼt find love at the crossroads bar Come on my friend take my advice Keep your love at home with your loving wife Youʼre better off than you think you are And you wonʼt find love at the crossroads bar
