The Crossroads Bar Lyrics - Bill Monroe

I walked out tonight for a ramble round 

I didn't mean to stay just to view the town 

When I saw her smiling from afar 

As she walked into that crossroads bar 

Well I walked inside and sat me down 

Ordered sweet red wine and I drank it down 

She came and set beside me there 

With a dark brown eyes and the red, red hair 

I told her that I loved her true 

Anything you want I'll surely do 

Said a man like you don't get too far 

With a girl like me at the crossroads bar 

I like smoky light and a lonesome song 

And I won't do right if I can do wrong 

You want the moon to burn behind the darkest star 

And you won't find love at the crossroads bar
