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
[ guitar ]
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
Leave me little darlin' I don't mind leave me little darlin' I don't mind
