Columbus Stockade

Words & Music:

Eva Sagent & Jimmy Davis (1943)

 

E                              B7                     E

Way down in Columbus, Georgia, wanna be back in Tennessee.

E                                 B7                                E

Way down in Columbus Stockade, my friends all turned their backs on me.

 

CHORUS:

E             A                      E        A                       E    B7

Well, you can go and leave me if you want to, never let me cross your mind.

B7          E                       B7                              E

For in your heart you love another, leave, little darling, I don't mind.

 

Last night as I lay sleeping, I dreamt I held you in my arms

When I awoke I was mistaken, I was peeping through the bars

 

CHORUS:

 

Many a night with you I've rambled, many an hour with you I've spent alone.

Now youÕve gone, youÕve gone and left me, and broken up our happy home.

 

CHORUS:
