Porter Wagoner - Old Crossroads lyrics

OLD CROSSROADS

Writer Bill Monroe

Oh my brother take this warning

Don't let ol Satan take your hand

You'll be lost in sin forever

You'll never reach the promised land

The old crossroads 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 through the old crossroads

Soon your life will be over

You'll have to face the old crossroads

Will you be ready then my brother

To shun the one down below
