San Francisco Bay Blues

I got the blues from my baby down by the san francisco bay

An oceanliner took him so far away

Well I didn't mean to treat him so bad

You know he was the best friend that I've ever had

When he said goodbye likely to make me cry

And I've got to lay down and die

And I ain't got a nickle and I ain't got a lousy dime

And if he don't come back well

I might just lose my mind

Yes I might just lose my mind

If he ever comes back to stay

It's got to be another brand new day

When I go walking with my baby

Down by the san francisco bay

Meanwhile somewhere in some other city

Oh boy you know I'm just about to blow out my brain

You know why

'Cause I thought I heard my baby call me

The way he used to call my name

And if he ever comes back to stay

It's got to be another brand new day

And yeah when I go walking with my baby

Talking to my baby

Singing to my baby

When I go walking

Down by the san francisco bay
