San Francisco Bay Blues

I got the blues from my baby
Left me by the San Francisco Bay
The ocean liner's gone so far away
Well, I didn't mean to treat her so bad
She was the best girl I ever have had
She said goodbye, She makes me cry
I gone to lay down and die

I ain't got a nickel and
I ain't got a lousy dime
If she don't come back
I'm going to lose my mind
If she ever comes back to stay
It's going to be another brand new day
Walking with my baby
By the San Francisco Bay

Well, I'm sittin' down
Looking through my back door
Just a-wondering which way to go
Woman I'm so crazy for
Says she don't love me no more
Think I'll catch me a freight train
Think about feeling blue
I'm gone to ride all the way
To the end of the line
Thinking only of you

Well, Meanwhile, in another city
Just about to go insane
Seems like I heard my baby
The way she used to call my name
If she ever get her back to stay
It's going to be another brand new day
Walking with my baby
Down by the San Francisco Bay
Walking with my baby
By the San Francisco Bay...
