Way down in Columbus, Georgia
Wanna be back in Tennessee
Way down in Columbus Stockade
Friends have turned their backs on me

Oh, go on 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

Last night as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I woke I was mistaken
I was peeping through the bars

Oh, go on 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

Leave me little darlin', I don't mind
Leave me little darlin', I don't mind
