San Francisco Bay
i got the blues from my baby down by the san francisco bay
an oceanliner took him so far away
well i didn't mean to treat him so bad
y'know he was the best friend that i've ever had
y'know when he said goodbye
likely to make me cry
and i've got to lay down and die
oh, and i ain't got a nickle and i ain't got a lousy dime
and if he don't come back
i guess i've got to lose my mind
i guess i'm gonna lose my mind
and if he ever comes back to stay
it's got to be another brand new day
when i go walking with my baby
down by, the san francisco bay
meanwhile somewhere in some other city
oh boy, i'm just about to go out of my brain
and y'know why?
because i thought i heard my baby call me
the way he used to call my name
and if he ever comes back to stay
it's got to be another brand new day
when i go walking with my baby...
talkin' to my baby...
singin' to my baby...
oh yeah and a clingin' to my baby
when i go walkin' with my baby
down by the san francisco bay
