Got the blues from my baby   Left me by the san francisco bay.   This big ocean liner took her so far away.   Didn't mean to treat her so bad   She was the best girl I ever have had.   She said good-bye, and she made me cry   I'm gonna lay right down and die.      Well, I ain't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime.   If she don't come back I think I'm gonna lose my mind.   If she ever comes back to stay,   Well, that'll be another brand new day,   Walking with my baby down by the san francisco bay.      Sittin' in my back door   Wondering which way to go   That woman I'm so crazy about   She don't love me no more.   Lord, I think I'll grab a freight train   Because I'm feeling blue,   Ride all the way to the end of the line   Thinking only about you.      Well, meanwhile in another city   Just about to go insane   Thought I heard my baby   The way she used called my name.   If she ever comin' back to stay   Well, that'll be another brand new day   Walking with my baby down by the san francisco bay   (I really mean it!)   Oh, walking with my baby down by the san francisco bay, whew!!
