Way down in Columbus Georgia
Lord, I wish I was back in Tennessee
Way down in Columbus Stockade
All my friends, they have turned their backs on me
Go on and leave me if you wish to
Never let it cross your mind
In your heart there was another
Leave me, little darling, I don't mind
Last night as I lay sleeping
Lord, I dreamt I held you in my arms
When I awoke I was mistaken
I was stuck behind these prison bars
Go and leave me if you wish to
Never let it cross your mind
In your heart there was another
Leave me, little darling, I don't mind
Many a night with you I've rambled
Many nights with you I've spent
Thought I had your heart forever
Now I've found it was only lent
Go and leave me if you wish to
Never let it cross your mind
In your heart there was another
Leave me, little darling, I don't mind
Leave me, little darling, I don't mind
Leave me, little darling, I don't mind
