Writer: Bill Monroe Artist: Bill Monroe (recorded 10/27/1947) Album: The Essential Bill Monroe and His Blue Grass Boys 1945-1949, Disc 2 Key: G Oh my brother, take this warning Don't let old Satan hold your hand You'll be lost in sin forever You'll never reach the promised land The old crossroad now is waiting Which one are you going to take One leads down to destruction The other to the pearly gate One road leads up to heaven The other goes down below Jesus our savior will protect you He'll guide you by the old crossroad The old crossroad now is waiting Which one are you going to take One leads down to destruction The other to the pearly gate Soon this life will be over You'll have to face the old crossroad Will you be ready then, my brother To shun the one goes down below The old crossroad now is waiting Which one are you going to take One leads down to destruction The other to the pearly gate
