I got the blues from my baby left me by the San Francisco Bay That ocean liner took her so far away Well I didn't mean to treat you so bad, you were the best gal I ever, ever had Oh, you said goodbye, made me cry, I want to lay down and die Cause I haven't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime She don't come back I believe I'm gonna lose my mind If you ever come back to stay, it's going to be another brand new day Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay Well I'm 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 Gonna catch me a freight train cause I'm feeling blue I'm gonna ride all the way to the end of the line thinking only of you Pretty Mama Meanwhile, in another city, I'll be just about to go insane Sounds like I heard my baby cry the way she used to call my name. If you're ever coming back to stay, its gonnna be another brand new day, Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay
