A1

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER

Sides Face Grand Square

Way down in Columbus Georgia

Lord I wish I was back in Tennessee

Way down in that old Columbus Stockade

My friends all have turned their back on me.

Allemande Left and Weave the Ring

Go and leave me if you wish to

Swing your partner and Promenade

In your heart you love another

Leave me, little darling, I don't mind

Thought I had your sweet love and your little heart forever

But I find it was only lent.

ORIGINAL LYRICS

Way down in Columbus, Georgia
Want to be 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 it cross your mind
If in your heart you love another
Leave me little darling, I don't mind

Last night as I lay sleeping
I dreamt I held you in my arms
When I awoke I was mistaken
I was peering through the bars

Many a night with you I've rambled
Many an hour with you I've spent
Thought I had your heart forever
Now I find it's only lent
