Lyrics Columbus Stockade Blues - Norman Blake, Nancy Blake

Columbus Stockade Blues

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
