Well, I was fixin' to cross Tombigbee River on down
I am fixin' to cross Tombigbee River goin' on 'cross
Well, I'm goin' to Columbus, baby, I'm goin' to settle on down
Well, Columbus, baby, Columbus is my old home
Well, I'm goin' to Columbus, I'm goin' down to Sandy Land
You know that's where they all, ol' drunkards hang around
Goin' down to Columbus
That ain't but 20 miles from Aberdeen
Well, I was over in Columbus, down in Sandy Land
Well, I was over in Columbus, down in Sandy Land
That's where all the poor peoples go, down where they raisin' sand
Play it now
Well, you take Columbus roads, cat scratch on your line
When you take Columbus broads, cats scratchin' on the line
What these men buys old laundromat on Tom River Bridge
That ain't no lie, boy
Hey, you Columbus women, you watch what's comin' down
Oh, listen, Columbus, tell the women what's comin' down
Well, Booker's sending them blues down, in Columbus town
Play it!
Sell 'bout four or five million with it
Columbus, my home, but I used to hang around
Columbus was my home, but I used to hang around
'Cause where you find a good time, down in Sandy Land
They ain't lyin', that's what it was!
Go down in Sandy Land and tell Booker
I said, "Come there and ask for it," yes!
