Columbus Stockade Blues

Columbus Stockade Blues - The Limeliters

Way down in Columbus Georgia

Lord I wish I was back in Tennessee

Way down in Columbus Stockade Prison

All of my friends have turned on me

Go and leave me if you want to

Never let it cross your mind

In your heart you love another

Won't you leave me little darling never mind

Many nights with you I've rambled

Darlin' countless hours with you I've spent

Thought I had your sweet love and little heart forever

But now I find you're only lent

Go and leave me if you want to

Never let it cross your mind

In your heart you love another

Won't you leave me little darling never mind

Last night while I was sleeping

I dreamt I held you in my arms

When I awoke I was so mistaken

I was still inside these the bars

Go and leave me if you want to

Never let it cross your mind

In your heart you love another

Won't you leave me little darling never mind

Way down in Columbus Georgia

Oh Lord I wish I was back in Tennessee

Way down in Columbus Stockade Prison

All of my friends have turned on me

Go and leave me if you want to

Never let it cross your mind

In your heart you love another

Won't you leave me little darling never mind

Now I got these lonesome stockade blues
