I got the blues from my baby livin' by the San Francisco Bay The ocean liner's gone so far away Didn't mean to treat her so bad, she was the best girl I ever have had Said goodbye, I can take a cry, I want to lay down and die I ain't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime If she don't come back, think I'm gonna lose my mind If I ever get back to stay / it's gonna be another brand new day Walkin' with my baby down / by the San Francisco Bay
Sittin' down looking from my back door... wonderin' which way to go Woman I'm so crazy 'bout... she don't love me no more Think I'll catch me a freight train... cause I'm feelin' blue Ride all the way to the end of the line... thinkin' only of you Meanwhile livin' in the city... just about to go insane Thought I heard my baby's voice... the way she used to call my name And if I / ever get back to stay... it's gonna be another brand new day Walkin' with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay Hey Hey Walkin' with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay Yeah, walkin' with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay
