Got the blues from my baby Left me by the San Francisco Bay This big ocean liner took her so far away Didn't mean to treat her so bad She was the best girl I ever have had She said good-bye, and she made me cry I'm gonna lay right down 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 Well, that'll be another brand new day Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay Sittin' in my back door Wondering which way to go That woman I'm so crazy about She don't love me no more Lord, I think I'll grab a freight train Because I'm feeling blue Ride all the way to the end of the line Thinking only about you Well, meanwhile in another city Just about to go insane Thought I heard my baby The way she used called my name If she ever comin' back to stay Well, that'll be another brand new day Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay (I really mean it!) Oh, walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay, whew!! O Bay Blues
