Michelle, I realise it's been a few weeks since you asked for this, but are these the words you are after?

The Old Crossroads (Bill Monroe)

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

Chorus The Old Crossroads now is waiting Which one are you going to take One leads down to destruction The other to the Pearly Gates

One road leads up to heaven The other goes on down below Jesus Our saviour will protect you He'll guide you by the Old Crossroads

(Chorus)

Soon your life will be over You'll have to face the Old Crossroads Will you be ready then my brother To shun the one that goes down below

(Chorus)

On different Bill Monroe recordings, the title is variously given as
THE OLD CROSS ROAD
THE OLD CROSSROAD IS WAITING
THE OLD CROSSROADS

THE OLD CROSS ROAD

Oh, dear brother, heed my warning.
Don't let old Satan hold your hand.
You'll be lost in sin forever.
You'll never see the Promised Land.

CHORUS: The Old Cross Road now is waiting.
Which way are you gonna take?
One road leads to destruction;
The other to the Pearly Gates.

One road leads up to Heaven.
The other goes down below.
Jesus our Lord will protect you.
He'll guide you past the Old Cross Road.

Soon your life will be over.
You'll have to face the Old Cross Road.
Will you be ready then, my brother,
To shun the one down below?
