Columbus Stockade Blues

Cat. #1575 (MFH #) - As sung by J.J. "Red" Curry, Fayetteville, Arkansas on August 18, 1975

VERSE 1
Way down, in Columbus, Georgia
--- --- --- me in Tennessee
Way down in Columbus Stockade
Lived a gal went back on me

CHORUS:
Go an' leave me if you wish to
Never let me cross your mind
In your heart you love another
Leave me little darlin', I don't mind

VERSE 2
Last night, while I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I woke, I was mistaken
I was peepin' thru th bars

VERSE 3
Now, many a nights with you I've rambled
Many a hour I've been with you
I growed up on your heart forever
Till to me you proved untrue
