Start Jamming...
This is the place where it all happened.
I'll tell you what you gotta do.
See you go on over there and start playing a piece.
Why?
Of course there's a fella I've got to see.
And if you're playing it right he's gonna come around.
Yeah right Willy, who is this guy?
Don't ask me who, you know damn well who.

[A] Keep it going, you're [B] standing at the crossroad [Em] now.
This [E] is where it counts.
Thought I wasn't supposed to go down at the crossroads, Willy.
[A] He ain't here for you, he's here [B] for me.

You want me to ride?
What you waiting for, huh?
Come on Willy, let's get to Fulton's point, huh?
What time he coming round?
What time?
Who coming round?
You don't be fooling with [B] me.
I'm [Em] talking about Legba.
[E] Legba?
Where you been at Slick?
He done changed his [Bb] name [B] to Scratch.
I don't want none of [E] your sass.
I [D] got business with the [Cm] man.
[Db] Mean old [B] bastard, [E] ain't you?
Forget it honey, he's crazy.
Now y'all sure you don't need a ride?
I ain't [Bm] riding with [E] the likes of you smartass.
Or your bitch neither.
[G] [A]
[B] Suit yourself, [Em] old [N] man.
You looking for me, Willy Brown?
Been a long time, hasn't it, Willy?
Yes, yes it has.
What's going on here?
Yes sir, been a long time.
You were about 17 last time we saw each other.
One night on this old crossroads, wasn't it?
What can I do for you, Willy Brown?
I come to see you, tell you the deal's off.
Oh no.
According to this here piece of paper, the deal's still on.
You can tear that up and give me some peace.
Why on earth would I want to do that?
You sloughed up on your end of things.
I didn't end up where I wanted.
I didn't end up with nothing.
Didn't get nothing!
You got what you were supposed to get, blues man.
Ain't nothing ever as good as we want it to be.
But that ain't no reason to break a deal.
Of course,
you had something to offer me.
I got a couple of hundred dollars.
I ain't interested in your money.
Yeah, you know that.
How about cutting heads?
Oh, I get it.
You want some kind of contest, huh?
You're a real smart boy, ain't you?
[B] Well, smart boy,
[E] I got a big white fella from Memphis
made a deal with me a few years back.
[N] Real good guitar player,
named Jack Butler.
Cuts heads every Saturday night, yes sir.
He discourages a lot of up-and-coming boys.
Yeah, but Willy doesn't even play guitar.
Oh yeah, I forgot that.
Ain't that too bad.
Guess there ain't much hope at all for Willy Brown.
Unless you might want to sit in for him.
Don't do it.
Sure, he's my friend.
I don't believe in any of this shit anyway.
I say don't do it, Lightning.
You win,
I tear up Willy's contract.
But what happens if my man Jack Butler wins?
You get me.
I already got you.
[E] Well, then you got me too.
Shut up, you hear?
I don't want you making no deals.
Take it easy, Willy.
I'm just calling his bluff here.
We'll get to Fulton's Point after this.
Where and when for this thing?
Oh, I can get us there real quick.
Jack Butler's gonna like
