Lyrics
I got the blues when my Baby left me by the San Francisco Bay.
She’s taken an ocean liner and she’s gone so far away.
I didn’t mean to treat her so bad,
She’s the best girl I ever had,
She said goodbye gonna make me cry,
I’m gonna lay down and die.

I haven’t got a nickel, 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,
There’s gonna be another brand new day
Walkin’ with my Baby down by the San Francisco Bay.

Sittin’ downand lookin’ through my back door
Wond’rin’ which way to go,
Woman I’m so crazy ‘bout she don’t want me no more.
Think I’ll take me a freight train, Because I’m feelin’ blue,
Ride all the way to the end of the line, Thinkin’ only of you.

Meanwhile in another city,
Just about to go in sane,
Seems like I heard my Baby,
The way she used to call my name,
If she ever comes back to stay,
There’s gonna be another brand new day
Walkin’ with my Baby down by the San Francisco Bay
