Ramblin' Jack Elliott - Jesse Fuller's San Francisco Bay Blues lyrics

[Verse 1] I got the blues when my baby left me down by the Frisco Bay; An ocean liner came and took her away I didn't mean to treat her bad, she was the best gal I ever had; She said good-bye, made me cry Made me want to lay down my head and die [Chorus] Well I ain't got a nickel, and I ain't got a lousy dime? She don't come back, I think I'm gonna lose my mind She ever comes back to stay, it's gonna be another brand new day Walking with my baby by the San Francisco Bay [Verse 2] Well, I'm sitting here on the back porch Don't know which way to go; The gal that I'm so crazy about, she don't love me anymore Think I'm going to take a freight train, cause I'm feeling blue Going to ride it to the end of the line, thinking only of you [Chorus] [Outro] Walking with my baby by the San Francisco Bay[x2]
