Way down in Columbus, Georgia
I want to be back in Tennessee
No one to care or comfort
No one to give a damn for me
Chorus:
You can take me back to Kentucky
Any place you decide
Just free me from this stockade
Leave me little darlin', I don't mind
I am shackled down here in Columbus Stockade
These chains on my legs are makin' me sore
If I had my life to live over
I don't think I'd see you anymore
Last night while I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I woke, I was mistaken
I was peering through these bars
Many days with you I've rambled
Many nights with you I've spent alone
Now you've gone and left me, darlin'
You left me here so all alone
Who will kiss your red lips, darlin'?
Who will hold you in their arms?
Who will take your future over
While I'm behind these bars?
