SAN FRANCISCO BAY BLUES
Jesse Fuller

I got the blues from my baby down by the San Francisco Bay,
Ocean liner came and took her so far away.
Didn't mean to treat her so bad, she was the best girl I ever have had,
She said goodbye, made me cry, I want to lay down and die.

I ain't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime.
She don't come back pretty soon I'm gonna lose my mind
If she ever comes back to stay, it's going to be another brand new day,
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay.

Sitting here looking out my back door,
Wondering which way to go,
The woman I'm so crazy about, she don't love me no more.
Think I'll ride a freight train, 'cause I'm feeling blue,
Ride all the way to the end of the line, thinking just about you.

Live awhile in another city,
Just about to go insane,
Thought I heard my woman, you know, the way she used to call my name.
If she ever comes back to stay, it's going to be another brand new day,
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay,
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay,
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay.
