San Francisco Bay Blues

I got the blues when my baby left me down by the Frisco
Bay.
An ocean liner came and took her away.
Well, I didn’t mean to treat her bad, she was the best gal I
ever had,
She said goodbye, gonna make cry,
Think I’m gonna lay down my head 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, it’ll be another brand-new
day,
Walkin’ with my baby, down by the San Francisco Bay.

Well, I’m sittin’ down lookin’ out the back door,
Don’t know which way to go.   Woman I’m so crazy about
Says she don’t love me no more.  
Think I’m gonna take me a freight train, ‘cause I’m feelin’
blue,
Ride all the way to end of the line, thinkin’ 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 comes back to stay, it’ll be another brand-new
day.  
Walkin’ with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay.
