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
