Hope it works out. Any help appreciated.

             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
