I got the blues from my baby livin' by the San Francisco Bay
The ocean liners not so far away
I didn't mean to treat her so bad
She was the best girl I ever have had
I said goodbye, I can take a cry
I wanna lay down and die
I ain't got a nickle and I ain't got a lousy dime
She don't come back; ain't gonna lose my mind
If ya' ever get back to stay it's gonna be another brand new day
Walkin' with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay

(Solo)

Sittin' down lookin' from the 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 you

Meanwhile livin' in the city
Just about to go insane
All I heard my baby Lord wishin' you would call my name
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
Walkin with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay
Yeah, walkin with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay
