Columbus Stockade

Way down in Columbus, Georgia
 I wished i was 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 me cross your mind
 If in your heart you love another
 Leave your darling, I don't mind
 Last night as I lay sleeping
 I was dreaming you were in my arms
 When I awoke I saw I was mistaken
 I was peering through the bars
 Go and leave me if you wish to
 Never let me cross your mind
 If in your heart you love another
 Leave your darling, I don't mind
 A ya zain a ya zain
 A ya zain el 'agibeen
 Ya ward ya ward
 Imfatah bain il basateen
 A ya zain a ya zain
 A ya zain el 'agibeen
 Ya ward ya ward
 Imfatah bain il basateen
 Many night with you I've rambled
 Many an hour with you I've spent
 And I thought I had your heart forever
 And now I find it's only lent
 Go and leave me if you wish to
 Never let me cross your mind
 If in your heart you love another
 Leave your darling, I don't mind
 Go and leave me if you wish to
 Never let me cross your mind
 If in your heart you love another
 Leave your darling, I don't mind
 A ya zain a ya zain
 A ya zain el 'agibeen
 Ya ward ya ward
 Imfatah bain il basateen
