Columbus Stockade Blues

 

Way [E]down in Columbus, Georgia,

[B7]Want to go back to Tennes[E]see.

Way down in Columbus Stockade,

My [B7]friends all turned their backs on [E]me.

 

Well, you can [A]go and leave if you [E]want to.

[A]Never let it cross your [B7]mind,

For in your [E]heart you love another,

[B7]Leave, little darlin', I don't [E]mind.

 

Last [E]night as I lay sleeping,

I [B7]dreamed I held you in my [E]arms,

When I woke, I was mistaken,

I was [B7]peeping through those prison [E]bars.

 

Well, you can [A]go and leave if you [E]want to.

[A]Never let it cross your [B7]mind,

For in your [E]heart you love another,

[B7]Leave, little darlin', I don't [E]mind.

 

Many [E]hours with you I've rambled,

Many [B7]nights with you I've spent a-[E]lone,

Now you've gone, you've gone and left me,

And [B7]broken up our happy [E]home.

 

Well, you can [A]go and leave if you [E]want to.

[A]Never let it cross your [B7]mind,

For in your [E]heart you love another,

[B7]Leave, little darlin', I don't [E]mind.
