Way down in Columbus Georgia Lord I wish I was back in Tennessee Way down in that old Columbus Stockade My friends all have turned their back on me. Go and leave me if you wish to Never let me cross your mind In your heart you love another Leave me, little darling, I don't mind Many a night with you I've rambled Honey, countless hours with you I've spent Thought I had your sweet love and your little heart forever But I find it was only lent.
