I got the blues from my baby livin' by the San Francisco Bay The ocean liners not so far away I didn't mean to treat her so bad She was the best girl I ever have had I said goodbye, I can take a cry I wanna lay down and die. I ain't got a nickle and I ain't got a lousy dime She don't come back, think I'm gonna lose my mind If she ever get back to stay it's gonna be another brand new day Walkin' with my baby down by San Francisco Bay. Sittin' down lookin' from the back door wondrin' which way to go Woman I'm so crazy 'bout she don't love me no more Think I'll catch me a freight train cause I'm feelin' blue Ride all the way to the end of the line thinkin' only you. Meanwhile livin' in the city just about to go insane All I heard my baby Lord, the way she used to call my name If she ever get back to stay it's gonna be another brand new day Walkin with my baby down by San Francisco Bay. Walkin with my baby down by San Francisco Bay. Yeah, walkin with my baby down by San Francisco Bay.
