Columbus Stockade Blues

1
Way down in Columbus Georgia
5 1
Want to be back in Tennessee
 
Way down in Columbus Stockade
5 1
Friends have turned their backs on me
 

4 1
Go and leave me if you wish to
4 1
Never let me cross your mind
1
In your heart you love another
5 1
Leave me darlin’ 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 peaking through the bars
