Way Down in Columbus Georgia

Want to be back in Tennessee

Way down in Columbus stockade

My friends all turned their backs on me

Chorus:

Go and leave me if you wish to

Never let it cross your mind

If in your heart you love another

Leave me little darlin I don’t mind

Last night as I lay sleeping

I dreamt I held you in my arms

When I awoke I was mistaken

I was peering through the bars

Chorus:

Go and leave me if you wish to…

Many a night with you I rambled

Many an hour with you I spent

Thought I had your heart forever

Now I find it was only lent

Chorus:

Go and leave me if you wish to…
