Crossroads

Bob Nolan
Original copyright: April 11, 1951

Man standing at crossroads holding a guitar.

I've been waiting at the crossroads
Far beyond the seven seas
Longing and yearning for someone
Somewhere to anchor my heart.
Crossroads never meet again, dear.
That's the story that they always tell
But I found the lost road home
That meets the crossroads home
And you were waiting there.

Many of Bob Nolan's published songs appeared to be "lost" to his family, including "Crossroads.” In May 2009, Barton Clark donated his copy of "Crossroads" to the Bob Nolan family and it will be archived in the Southern Folklife Collection at the University of North Carolina. We are very grateful to Mr. Clark for his generosity.

RECORDINGS

When we received the sheet music, we scanned and sent it to Dave Bourne who quickly made a demo for us. Mr. Bourne is an enthusiastic Nolan fan and has made many demos for us of Bob Nolan's unrecorded music. We are grateful to him for his talent and unqualified support.
