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      Come all my friends and take my advice   Keep your love at home with your lovely wife   You're better off than you think you are   And you won't find love at the crossroads bar
