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...
