I got the blues when my baby left me by the San Francisco Bay
On an ocean liner gone so far away
I didn't mean to make her feel so bad
She was the best girl that I ever had
She said goodbye, made me cry, I'm gonna lay down and die
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, it's gonna be another brand new day
Walkin' with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay
Sittin' out lookin' through my back door, Wonderin' which way to go
Gal that I'm so crazy about don't want me no more
Think I'll 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
I thought I heard my baby, the way she used to call my name
If she ever comes back to stay, it's gonna be another brand new day
Walkin' with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay
