—Jimmie Davis and Eva Sargent
Way down in Columbus, Georgia
Want to be back in Tennessee
Way down in Columbus Stockade
Friends all turned their backs on me
Bridge:
Well go away and leave me if you wish to
Never let me cross your mind
In your heart you love another
Leave me little darling I don't mind
Verse:
| I | I | I | I |
| V | V | I | I |
Bridge:
| IV | IV | I | I |
