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
