I got the blues when my baby left me down by the Frisco bay

An ocean liner came and took her away

I didn't mean to treat her bad, she was the best gal I ever had

She said good-bye, made me cry

Made me wanna lay down my head and die

Well I ain't got a nickel, and I ain't got a lousy dime

She don't come back, I think I'm gonna lose my mind

She ever comes back to stay, it's gonna be another brand new day

Walkin' with my baby by the San Francisco bay

Well, I'm sittin' here on the back porch, don't know which way to go

The gal that I'm so crazy about, she don't love me anymore

Think I'm gonna take a freight train, 'cause I'm feelin' blue

Gonna ride it to the end of the line, thinkin' only of you

Well I ain't got a nickel, and I ain't got a lousy dime?

She don't come back, I think I'm gonna lose my mind

She ever comes back to stay, it's gonna be another brand new day

Walkin' with my baby by the San Francisco bay

Walkin' with my baby by the San Francisco bay

Walkin' with my baby by the San Francisco bay
