San Francisco Bay Blues

Got the blues from my baby

Left me by the san francisco bay.

This big ocean liner took her so far away.

Didn't mean to treat her so bad

She was the best girl i ever have had.

She said good-bye, and she made me cry

I'm gonna lay right down and die.



Well, i ain't got a nickel and i ain't got a lousy dime.

If she don't come back i think i'm gonna lose my mind.

If she ever comes back to stay,

Well, that'll be another brand new day,

Walking with my baby down by the san francisco bay.



Sittin' in my back door

Wondering which way to go

That woman i'm so crazy about

She don't love me no more.

Lord, i think i'll grab a freight train

Because i'm feeling blue,

Ride all the way to the end of the line

Thinking only about you.



Well, meanwhile in another city

Just about to go insane

Thought i heard my baby

The way she used called my name.

If she ever comin' back to stay

Well, that'll be another brand new day

Walking with my baby down by the san francisco bay

(i really mean it!)

Oh, walking with my baby down by the san francisco bay, whew!!
