The original jail in Columbus, the Stockades. The song written about it seems to be lost after a generation or so. It was so popular and many an artist dos a cover of it. Elvis, Willie Nelson, Woody Guthrie, Bill Monroe, Doc Watson, and on the list goes.
~"Way down in Columbus, Georgia
Want to be back in Tennessee
Way down in Columbus Stockade
Friends all turned their backs on me"...
You can find plenty on YouTube to listen to, even the original.
