Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I got the blues from my baby
Left me by the San Francisco Bay
The ocean liner's gone so far away
Didn't mean to treat her so bad
She was the best girl I ever have had
Said goodbye, I can take a cry
I wanna lay down and die
[Verse 2]
I ain't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime
She don't come back think I'm gonna lose my mind
Ever gets back to stay
It's going to be another brand new day
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay
[Verse 3]
Sitting down looking from my back door
Wondering which way to go
The woman I'm so crazy about
She don't love me no more
Think I'll catch me a freight train
Because I'm feeling blue
And ride all the way to the end of the line
Thinking only of you
[Verse 4]
Meanwhile, in another city
Just about to go insane
Thought I heard my baby, Lord
The way she used to call my name
If I ever get her back to stay
It's going to be another brand new day
[Verse 5]
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay
