San Francisco Bay Blues

San Francisco Bay Blues - Ramblin' Jack Elliott/Derroll Adams

I got the blues from my baby left me

By the san francisco bay

The ocean liners she gone so far away

Didn't mean to treat her so bad

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

She don't come back

Think I'm going to lose my mind

If she ever come back to stay

It's another brand new day

Walking with my baby down

By the san francisco bay

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

Think I'll take me a freight train

Cause I'm feeling blue

And ride all the way to the end of the line

Thinking only of you

Meanwhile in another city

Just about to go insane

Thought like I heard my baby

The way she used to call my name

If I come back to stay

It's another brand new day

Walking with my baby down

By the san francisco bay

Walking with my baby down

By the san francisco bay
