The Chad Mitchell Trio recorded the song in this form:

"Way down in Columbus, Georgia - I wanta go back to Tennessee
Way down in Columbus Stockade, my friends all turned their backs on me.

Chorus: Well you can go and leave me if you want to
       Never let it cross your mind
       If in your heart you love another,         
       You can leave me, ltttle darlin' I won't mind.

(I just realized I can't rattle off the next verses! It was early on in the 60's and, besides I am "getting on")
