Columbus Stockade

Way down in Columbus Stockade
want to be back in Tennessee
Way down in Columbus Stockade
where my friends went back on me
You can go and leave me if you want to
Never let me cross your mind
In your heart, you love another
Leave me, darling
I don't mind
(Play, boy. Play it pretty. Columbus Stockade.)
Way down in Columbus Stockade
left me there to lose my mind
Thinkin about my blue eyed Shawnee
Pretty little girl that I left behind
You can go and leave me if you want to
Never let me cross your mind
In your heart you love another
Leave me, darling
I don't mind
You can go and leave me if you want to
Never let me cross your mind
In your heart you love another
Leave me, darling
I don't mind
