Georgia Stockade Lyrics - Kingston Trio

Nick Reynolds/Bob Shane/John Stewart 

Way down in Columbus, Georgia, that's where I don't want to be. 

Hey, way down in Columbus stockade. Take me back to Tennessee. 

Chorus: 

Well, you can take me back to old Kentucky, any place that you decide. 

Just turn me loose from this old stockade. I'll tell you, buddy, I won't mind. 

The other night as I lay sleepin' I dreamt I held you in my arms. 

When I awoke I was mistaken. These prison walls were all around. 

(Chorus) 

Two years ago, it seems a long time, that's when I was free and on my own. 

But here I am behind that stockade. I wish to God they'd take me home. 

(Chorus) 

I'll tell you, buddy, I won't mind.
