Georgia Stockade Lyrics
Nick Reynolds/Bob Shane/John Stewart



Way down in Columbus, Georgia, that's where I don't want to be.

Hey, way down in Columbus stockade. Take me back to Tennessee.



Chorus:

Well, you can take me back to old Kentucky, any place that you decide.

Just turn me loose from this old stockade. I'll tell you, buddy, I won't mind.



The other night as I lay sleepin' I dreamt I held you in my arms.

When I awoke I was mistaken. These prison walls were all around.



(Chorus)



Two years ago, it seems a long time, that's when I was free and on my own.

But here I am behind that stockade. I wish to God they'd take me home.



(Chorus)



I'll tell you, buddy, I won't mind.
