I got the blues from my baby left me down by the Frisco Bay;
An ocean liner took her so far away
I didn't mean to treat her so bad, best gal I ever have had;
She said good-bye, she like to make me cry
Made me wanna lay down my head and die
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
Walkin' with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay
Well, I'm sittin' here on the back porch, don't know which way to go;
Woman I'm so crazy about, she don't want me no more
Think I'm gonna take a freight train, cause I'm feelin' blue
Ride all the way to the end of the line, thinkin' only of you
Meanwhile, in another city, just about to go insane
Sound like I heard my baby, the way she used to call my name
If you come back to stay, it's gonna be another brand new day
Walkin' with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay
