Way down in Columbus, Georgia
Want to be back in Tennessee
Way down in Columbus Stockade
Friends have turned their back on me.
Go and leave me if you wish to
Never let me cross your mind
If in your heart you love another
Leave me darling, I don’t mind.
Last night as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke I was mistaken
I was peeking through the bars.
Go and leave me if you wish to
Never let me cross your mind
If in your heart you love another
Leave me darling, I don’t mind.
Leave me darling, I don’t mind…
