Crossroads At Midnight - (Delta Blues) by Hollow River Johnson

“Crossroads at Midnight” — Hollow River Johnson From the album *Crossroads* Step into the eerie stillness of the Mississippi night with **Crossroads at Midnight**, one of the most mystical and haunting tracks from Hollow River Johnson’s blues album *Crossroads*. This song dives deep into the folklore of the Delta — crossroads legends, prison‑road ghosts, and the quiet terror of walking alone beneath a blood‑red moon. Guided by sparse slide‑guitar accents, slow foot‑stomp rhythm, and raspy, storytelling vocals, the song follows a lone traveler moving through some of Mississippi’s most storied places. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of crossroads mythology and the fear, temptation, and hope tied to it. This is delta blues at its most atmospheric: dark, soulful, and steeped in the supernatural edge of Mississippi folklore. Lyrics: I walked down to the Benton crossroads, moon hangin’ low and red, Old folks say the devil waits there, where the brave fear to tread. My shadow stretched like a stranger, crawlin’ across the dirt, Every step I took felt heavy, like the ground was full of hurt. Stopped by Parchman prison road, heard chains drag in the night, Voices of the lost ones whisperin’, “Boy, you best do right.” Saw a lantern flicker distant, near the Sunflower County line, Could’ve been a man or a spirit, but it sure weren’t one of mine. **Crossroads at midnight, Lord, I’m tremblin’ in my shoes, Tryna find salvation, but I’m tangled in these blues. If I meet that devil, hope he lets this poor boy choose, Crossroads at midnight, got nothin’ left to lose.** Passed a shack near Ruleville, where a woman read my hand, Said, “Son, your fate’s been written long before you walked this land.” She gave me a charm of river clay, said, “Keep this close tonight,” But the wind kept whisperin’ secrets that made my blood run tight. Now I’m standin’ at the crossing, where Highway 8 runs cold, My guitar feels like a burden, and my heart feels twice as old. If the devil wants my sorrow, he can take it when he comes, But I’ll keep playin’ these blues songs till my weary fingers numb. **Crossroads at midnight, Lord, I’m tremblin’ in my shoes, Tryna find salvation, but I’m tangled in these blues. If I meet that devil, hope he lets this poor boy choose, Crossroads at midnight, got nothin’ left to lose.** When the rooster crows at sunrise, and the shadows fade away, Maybe I’ll still be standin’, maybe I’ll be led astray. But tonight I face the darkness, with my soul laid bare and tight, Crossroads at midnight, Lord, guide me through this night. “Crossroads at Midnight” — a dark delta blues song by Hollow River Johnson from the album *Crossroads*.
