Bill Monroe - Columbus Stockade Blues lyrics

rate me

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
