Columbus Stockade Blues [core]

Way down in Columbus, Georgia
5 Want to be back to Tennes- 1 see
Way down in Columbus Stockade
My 5 friends all turned their backs on 1 me

Chorus
4 Go and leave me if you 1 wish to
4 Never let it cross your 5 mind
If in your 1 heart you love another
5 Leave me little darlin', I don't 1 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

Many hours with you I've rambled
Many nights with you I've spent alone
Now you've gone, you've gone and left me
And broken up our happy home

It’s on Strum Machine!
