Oh, my brother take this warning
Don't let ol' Satan hold your hand
You'd be lost in sin forever
You'd never reach the promised land

The old crossroad now is waiting
Which one are you going to take?
One leads down to destruction
The other to the pearly gate

One road leads up to heaven
The other goes down below
Jesus, our Savior, will protect you
He'll guide you by the old crossroad

The old crossroad now is waiting
Which one are you going to take?
One leads down to destruction
The other to the pearly gate

Soon your life will be over
You'll have to face the old crossroad
Will you be ready then, my brother
To shun the one goes down below?

The old crossroad now is waiting
Which one are you going to take?
One leads down to destruction
The other to the pearly gates
