Columbus Stockade Blues - Norman Blake, Nancy Blake

Way down in Columbus Georgia

I want to be back in Tennessee

Way down in that old Columbus Stockade

My friends have turned their backs on me

Go and leave me if you wish to

Never let me cross your mind

In your heart you love some other

Oh leave me, darling, I don’t mind

Many a night with you I’ve rambled

Many an hour with you I’ll spend

I thought I had your heart forever

Now I found it’s only lent

Go and leave me if you wish to

Never let me cross your mind

In your heart you love some other

Oh lave me, darling, I don’t mind

Last night as I lay sleeping

I dreamd that I was in your arms

But when I woke, I was mistaken

And I was speaking through the bars

Go and leave me if you wish to

Never let me cross your mind

In your heart you love some other

Oh leave me, darling, I don’t mind

Lord, I’ve got them walking blues
