I got blues from my baby
Down in San Francisco Bay
The ocean liner went so far away
Didn't mean to treat her so bad
She said goodbye
I just sat and cried
I believe I'll die
I ain't got a nickel and
I ain't got a lousy dime
If she don't come back
Ain't gonna lose my mind
*If I ever get back to the bay
Gonna be another brand new day
Walking with my baby
Down in San Francisco Bay
Sitting down looking from my back door
Wondering which way to go
The woman I'm so crazy about
Sho don't love me no more
She got passed on the first train
Come to a bit of blue
I don't wait to get in line
Thinking only of you
Just might leave the city
Thinking about going to sea
Thought I heard my baby's voice
The way she used to call my name
