I got the blues from my baby livin' by the San Francisco Bay
The ocean liner's gone so far away
Didn't mean to treat her so bad, she was the best girl I ever have had
Said goodbye, I can take a cry, I want to lay down and die
I ain't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime
If she don't come back, think I'm gonna lose my mind
If I ever get back to stay / it's gonna be another brand new day
Walkin' with my baby down / by the San Francisco Bay
Sittin' down looking from my back door wonderin' 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 of you
Meanwhile livin' in the city just about to go insane
Thought I heard my baby's voice the way she used to call my name
And if I / ever get back to stay it's gonna be another brand new day
Walkin' with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay Hey Hey
Walkin' with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay
Yeah, walkin' with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay
