Doc Watson & Richard Watson - Columbus Stockade Blues Lyrics

Doc Watson & Richard Watson Lyrics

"Columbus Stockade Blues"

Way down in Columbus, Georgia
Lord, I wish that I was back in Tennessee
Way down in that old Columbus Stockade
My friends all 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 another
Leave me, little darling, I don't mind
(Tell me something, son)

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
And now I find it's only lent

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

Last night, as I lay sleeping
I'm dreaming that I'm lying in your arms
When I awakened, I was mistaken
Lord, I was still right here behind these bars

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

Lord, I've got the walking blues
