[Verse 1]
Way down in Columbus Georgia
Lord, I wish I was back in Tennessee
Way down in Columbus Stockade
All my friends, they have turned their backs on me

[Chorus]
Go on and leave me if you wish to
Never let it cross your mind
In your heart there was another
Leave me, little darling, I don't mind

[Verse 2]
Last night as I lay sleeping
Lord, I dreamt I held you in my arms
When I awoke I was mistaken
I was stuck behind these prison bars

[Chorus]
Go and leave me if you wish to
Never let it cross your mind
In your heart there was another
Leave me, little darling, I don't mind

[Verse 3]
Many a night with you I've rambled
Many nights with you I've spent
Thought I had your heart forever
Now I've found it was only lent
[Chorus]
Go and leave me if you wish to
Never let it cross your mind
In your heart there was another
Leave me, little darling, I don't mind
Leave me, little darling, I don't mind
Leave me, little darling, I don't mind
