Columbus Stockade Blues

Traditional

Way down in Columbus, Georgia
Want to be back in Tennessee
Way down in Columbus Stockade
Friends have turned their backs on me

Go and leave me if you wish to
        Never let me cross your mind
        In your heart you love another
        Leave me darling, I don't mind

Last night as I lay sleeping
I dreaming that you were in my arms
Then I found I was mistaken
I was peeping through the bars

* Refrain
