This is just my first try at uploading to any site so bear with me:

Hope it works out. Any help appreciated.

Let me know how you like the song... It's one of my favorites.

             COLUMBUS STOCKADE BLUES

    I

1.) Way down,  in Columbus Georg - ia

    V                       I

    Wan-na go back to Tennessee

    I

    Way down,  in Columbus  Stock-ade

         V                               I

    My friends all turned their backs on me

Chorus  

                IV                        I

   Well you can go,   and leave me if you want to

   IV                       V

   Nev-er let me cross your mind

               I

   For in your heart,  you love a-noth-er

   V                                  I

   Leave,  lit-tle dar-lin,   I don't mind

                

  

2.) Last night,  as I lay sleep-ing

    I dream-ed I held you in my arms.

    When I a-woke,  I was mis-tak-en,

    I was lookin' through prison bars.

Chorus

Anybody remember where or when this was originally done?

I remember it being one of the first "singin'" songs that

turned me on to guitar playing.  I guess most every picker

probably started out with "Wildwood Flower" as their first

instrumental?

Changes and/or additions welcome
