Columbus Stockade Blues
Way down in Columbus, Georgia
Want to be back to Tennessee
Way down in Columbus Stockade
My friends all turned their backs on me
Chorus
Go and leave me if you wish to
Never let it cross your mind
If in your heart you love another
Leave me little darlin', I don't mind
Last night as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I woke, I was mistaken
I was peeping through the bars
Many hours with you I've rambled
Many nights with you I've spent alone
Now you've gone, you've gone and left me
And broken up our happy home
