Columbus Stockade

Way down in

Columbus Georgia

Lord I wish

I was back in

Tennessee

Way down in that old

Columbus Stockade

My friends all have turned their back on me.

Go and leave me if you wish to

Never let me cross your mind

In your heart you love another

Leave me, little darling,

I don't mind

Many a night with you

I've rambled

Honey, countless hours with you

I've spent

Thought I had your sweet love and your little heart forever

But I find it was only lent.

Go and leave me if you wish to

Never let me cross your mind

If in your heart you love another

Leave me, little darling,

I don't mind

Last night as

I lay sleeping

Oh, I dreamd that

I was you in my arms

When I woke

I was mistaken

Lord, I was still behind these bars

Go and leave me if you wish to

Never let me cross your mind

If in your heart you love another

Leave me, little darling,

I don't mind

Lord, I've got the walking blues
