Columbus Stockade Blues Lyrics - Bill Monroe

Way down in Columbus, Georgia 

Want to be back in Tennessee 

Way down in Columbus Stockade 

Friends all turned their backs on me 

Go and leave me if you wish to 

Never let it cross your mind 

If in your heart you love another 

Leave me 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 peering through the bars 

Many a night with you I've rambled 

Many an hour with you I've spent 

Thought I had your heart forever 

Now I find it's only lent
