Way down in Columbus Georgia
Gonna wish I was back in Tennessee
Way down in that old Columbus Stockade
My friends all 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 little darlin’ I don’t mind

Many a night with you I’ve rambled
Honey countless hours with you I’ve spent
Thought I had your sweet love and little heart forever
But I find it’s only lent

Last night as I lay sleeping
Oh I dreamed that I was in your arms
When I woke I was mistaken
Lord I was still behind these bars

Go and leave me if you wish to
Never let me cross your mind
In your heart you love another
Leave me little darlin’ I don’t mind
Lord I’ve got the walkin’ blues
