I went down to the crossroads To hear that wild man play I went down to the crossroads To hear that wild man play When The Humbler hit the stage Even the devil ran away He had a '53 Chevy that he traded for a Coupe An old black Chevy with a rumble seat boot He said my name is Danny and I can play guitar So hand me that old tele' and don't you scratch my guitar He went on the stage like a fight to a bull Kept the beat swingin', it would save your soul Danny, Danny why the hell did you go away? Oh Danny, Danny why the hell did you go away? I swear I'd kill the devil so I could hear you play He reached out to Jesus but he wasn't there And all the A&R just didn't seem to care About a ""crazy mama"" or the ""pretty blue"" The Redneck Jazz hidin' in my room But if you swung a six string, you knew his name The Humbler, Telemaster, Greatest of the Great Danny, Danny why the hell did you go away? Oh Danny, Danny why the hell did you go away? I swear I'd kill the devil so I could hear you play It was down in Maryland On that awful autumn day It was down in Maryland On that awful, awful autumn day The door came down And Danny took his life away
