San Francisco Bay Blues |
|
Jesse Fuller |
|
I got the blues from my baby left me by the San Francisco Bay, |
|
The ocean liner's gone so far away. |
|
Didn't mean to treat her so bad, she was the best girl I ever have had, |
|
She said goodbye, I can take a cry, I want to lay down and die. |
|
I ain't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime. |
|
She don't come back, think I'm going to lose my mind. |
|
If she ever gets back to stay, it's going to be another brand new day, |
|
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay. |
|
Sitting down looking from my back door, |
|
Wondering which way to go, |
|
The woman I'm so crazy about, she don't love me no more. |
|
Think I'll catch me a freight train, 'cause I'm feeling blue, |
|
And ride all the way to the end of the line, thinking only of you. |
|
Meanwhile, in another city, |
|
Just about to go insane, |
|
Thought I heard my baby, Lord, the way she used to call my name. |
|
If I ever get her back to stay, it's going to be another brand new day, |
|
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay. |
|
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay. |
