Columbus Stockade Lyrics

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
