Got the blues when my baby left me by the San Francisco bay
Ocean liner gone so far away
Didn't mean to treat her so bad, best girl I ever has had
Made me cry like to say goodbye, wanna lay down and die

Ain't got a nickel, I ain't got a lousy dime
If she don't come back, Lord, I think I'm gonna lose my mind
If she ever come back and stay, be another brand new day
Walking with my baby down by San Francisco bay

Sit down looking through my back door, wonder which way to go
That a woman that I'm so crazy about, Lord, she don't want me no more
Think I'll take me a freight train cuz I'm a-feeling blue
Ride on up to the еnd of the line, thinking only of you

Just about to go on a city, just about to go insane
I think I havе heard that woman cry the way she used to call my name
If she ever come back and stay, be another brand new day
Walking with my baby down by San Francisco bay
Hey, walking with my baby down by San Francisco bay
