San Francisco Bay Blues
I've got the blues for my baby down by the San Francisco Bay
Well, ocean liner she gone so far away
Well, I didn't mean to treat her so bad
She was the best gal I ever did have
Now she, she make me mad, wanna make me cry,
I wanna lay down and die.
I ain't got a nickel, I ain't got a lousy dime
Lord you know, I'm just about to lose my mind
Well, you ever come back to stay,
It's gonna be a brand new day,
I'll be walkin' with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay
Well, sittin' on my back porch baby,
Now I'm wonderin' which way to go
The woman I'm so crazy about,
No she don't love me no more
I think I'll catch me a freight train, because I'm feelin' blue
Well, I'mma ride all the way to the end of the line thinkin' only of you.
Meanwhile, in another city I'm just about to go insane
I thought I heard the woman of mine,
The way she used to call my name.
If you ever come back to stay,
It's gonna be a brand new day,
Well, I'll be walkin' with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay
Yes, I'll be talkin' with my honey down by the San Francisco Bay
Well, I'll be spendin' all my money down by the San Francisco Bay.
