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!!
