Is there anyone who actually knows the official lyrics to this song? Every site I go to, there are different lyrics.

I went down to the crossroads,
Fell down on my knees.
I went down to the crossroads,
Fell down on my knees.
Asked the Lord above for mercy,
"Save me if you please."
I went down to the crossroads,
Tried to flag a ride.
I went down to the crossroads,
Tried to flag a ride.
Nobody seemed to know me,
Everybody passed me by.
I'm going down to Rosedale,
Take my rider by my side.
I'm going down to Rosedale,
Take my rider by my side.
You can still barrelhouse, baby,
On the riverside.
You can run, you can run,
Tell my friend-boy Willie Brown.
You can run, you can run,
Tell my friend-boy Willie Brown.
And I'm standing at the crossroads,
Believe I'm sinking down.

Did they purposely make this song so that no one could understand it?

And, Wally, even though you're gone, [gone, gone] you've still got love from Bone. [Bone, Bone]
My ni**a, just rest your soul, soul, soul [and we'll see you at the Crossroads.] [*2]
And, Wally, even though you're gone, [gone, gone] you've still got love from Bone. [Bone, Bone]
My ni**a, just rest your soul, soul, soul [and I'll see you at the Crossroads.]
And, Wally, even though you're gone, [gone, gone] you've still got love from Bone. [Bone, Bone]
My ni**a, just rest your soul, soul, soul [and we'll see you at the Crossroads.]
I'll never get over what some ni**a told me. "Did you know that you're ni**a, Wally, got pap pap at put in a coffin?" No! Why my ni** took a fall? Saw my ni**a tryin' to swang them dums, in the war so we lost him. But, damn, why did ya have to kill 'em? I never did think it be one of my trues to get caught up in redrum. I sit and I pray everyday God don't let me get smoked, oh no! A ni**a ain't scared to go, but I still got a lot to live for. But so did my ni**a, my ni**a, he gone, and all he left was his memories. But when I die, you don't see me. One, two, three, Wally rest in peace, please.
Can a ni**a tell me why so many my ni**as had to die, so much pain. Even ni**as in the hood is no good, puttin' one to your own homie's brain. And a ni**a gettin' high, thinkin' back, in the days when we did some f*cked-up thangs. Now, I gotta ask God if that's the reason my homie's gone away. And I gotta give hate to ya gangstas out there fakin' the funk. Actin' like you got a problem, but your just too goddamned drunk! Put down your forties, pick up your fists, and handle that sh*t like men. 'Cause too many punks out there pumpin', thinkin' your gat is your friend.
And, Wally, even though you're gone, [gone, gone] you've still got love from Bone. [Bone, Bone]
My ni**a, just rest your soul, soul, soul [and we'll see you at the Crossroads.] [*2]

Come and take a good look deep into these thuggish ruggish eyes. See the thugstas cry. And I'm askin' the good Lord "Why?" and sigh, He told me we lived to die. Not another on the team with a dream that can deal with the struggles, like you Wally. I love you to death, but I wish you could have seen through your troubles. And it's hard to say good-bye to another Bone. I'm feelin' all in the dumps, and all of a sudden, I'm so alone. Stay strong and hold on to a lifetime of memories. You're livin' off in my prayers. Gotta let The Man Upstairs know that somebody cares. Just wait, and I'll be there.
When I heard the word it at Kerm's, Shorty said, "Oh, my Lord!" Layin' on the curb on a hundred and twenty-third, bled, dead to the world. How bad? And what about Looney, now? Damn, she goin' act a fool. Out the blue, seemed to--she knew what happened to Wally, she lost her cool. Remember my thug, when I got mo' love. Sippin' on eight-ball, used to tell him to pass the weed. I wish I could tell him to smoke it all. Not my dog. The mission is deep, peep, so listen up while you sleep: to get where you're headed you must make a Heaven of hell and, a ni**a, you'll smooth creep.
And, Wally, even though you're gone, [gone, gone] you've still got love from Bone. [Bone, Bone]
My ni**a, just rest your soul, soul, soul [and we'll see you at the Crossroads.] [*2]
And, Wally, even though you're gone, [gone, gone] you've still got love from Bone. [Bone, Bone]
My ni**a, just rest your soul, soul, soul [and I'll see you at the Crossroads.]
And, Wally, even though you're gone, [gone, gone] you've still got love from Bone. [Bone, Bone]
My ni**a, just rest your soul, soul, soul [and we'll see you at the Crossroads, Crossroads, Cross?]
