I got the blues from my baby left me down by the Frisco Bay; An ocean liner took her so far away I didn't mean to treat her so bad, best gal I ever have had; She said good-bye, she like to make me cry Made me wanna lay down my head and die Well I ain't got a nickel, and I ain't got a lousy dime? She don't come back, I think I'm gonna lose my mind She ever comes back to stay, it's gonna be another brand new day Walkin' with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay Well, I'm sittin' here on the back porch, don't know which way to go; Woman I'm so crazy about, she don't want me no more Think I'm gonna take a freight train, cause 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 insane Sound like I heard my baby, the way she used to call my name If you come back to stay, it's gonna be another brand new day Walkin' with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay
