Columbus, Georgia

Way down in Columbus, Georgia
I wanna go back to Tennessee
Way down in Columbus Stockade
Folks all turned their backs on me

Well, you can go and leave me if you want to
Never let it cross your mind
In your heart, you always love another
You can leave me, little 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

Well, you can go and leave me if you want to
Never let it cross your mind
In your heart, you always love another
You can leave me, little darling, I don't mind

Way down in Columbus, Georgia
It was there I nearly lost my mind
Thinking about my pretty blue-eyed baby
Pretty little girl I left behind

You can go and leave me if you want to
Never let it cross your mind
In your heart, you always love another
You can leave me, little darling, I don't mind

Well, you can go and leave me if you want to
Never let it cross your mind
In your heart, you always love another
You can leave me, little darling, I don't mind
