Lyrics:

Got the blues for my baby down by San Francisco Bay
There's an ocean liner took so far away
Well I didn't mean to treat her so bad
She's the best girl that I ever had
Well she said goodbye, made me cry
Gonna lay right down and die
Well I ain't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime
She don't come back, think I'm gonna lose my mind
Yeah, if she ever come back to stay
Well that'll be a brand new day
Walkin' with my baby down by San Francisco Bay
Well I'm sittin' down by my back door
Wonderin' which way to go
The woman I'm so crazy about
She don't love me no more
Think I'll grab me a freight train
Well 'cause I'm feelin' blue
Ride all the way to the end of the line
Thinkin' all about you
Well stay in another city
Just about go insane
I can hear my baby
The way she call my name
Well if she ever come back to stay
That'll be a brand new day
Walkin' with my baby down by San Francisco Bay

Got the blues for my baby down by San Francisco Bay
There's an ocean liner took so far away
Well I didn't mean to treat her so bad
She's the best girl that I ever had
Well she said goodbye, made me cry
Gonna lay right down and die
Well I ain't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime
She don't come back, think I'm gonna lose my mind
Yeah, if she ever come back to stay
Well that'll be a brand new day
Walkin' with my baby down by San Francisco Bay
Yeah, walkin' with my baby down by San Francisco Bay
