Bill Anderson Lyrics
"Columbus Stockade Blues"

(Jimmie Davis - Eva Sargent)

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.

--- Instrumental ---

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...
