 I  got the Blues for my baby down beside  the San Francisco bay,
 An  ocean-liner took her so far away.
 I  didn't mean it treat me so bad,
 She  was the best girl I ever  ever had.
 She  said goodbye, she like to make me cry, gonna  lay down my
 head and die.
 I  ain't got a nickel and ain't  got a lousy time.
 She  don't come back I thing I'm gonna loose my  mind,
 She  ever come back to stay,  it's gonna  be another brand new day.
 Walking  with my baby down beside  the San Francisco bay.
 I'm  sittin' here by  my back  door, I wounder which way to  go.
 Woman  I'm so crazy about you don't love me anymore,
 Think  I'll take me a freight  train, cause  I'm feelin' blues.
 Ride  all the way to the end of the line thinking  only at you.
 Meanwhile  in  a other city,  just about the goin'  same.
 Thought  I heard my sweet baby, and the way  she used to call my
 name.
 If  she ever come back to stay,  it's gonna be another  brand new
 day.
 Walking  with my baby down beside  the San Francisco bay.
 Walking  with my baby down beside  the San Francisco bay......
 Fade Out
