The myth of the “crossroads” comes from Africa and some of its traditions brought to the U.S. and Mississippi with its slave population. The story goes that if you need something bad enough, you can make a deal with “Elegba”, or Satan. You go to a crossroads at midnight and wait until he shows up. That’s when you sign your soul away and lose your chance at salvation in exchange for whatever gift it is you want or need.
“I went to the crossroads, fell down on my knees,” said Johnson in the song “Cross Road Blues”. “I asked the Lord above for mercy, save poor Bob if you please.”
