I got those blues where my baby left me down by the Frisco Bay, yeah, yeah
An ocean liner came and took her away, yeah, yeah
I didn't mean to treat her bad
She was the best friend I ever had
She said goodbye, she made me cry
She made me wanna lay down my head and die

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
If she ever comes back to stay, 
It's gonna be another brand new day
Walking with my baby by the San Francisco Bay, hey, hey, hey
Walking with my baby by the San Francisco Bay

Well, I'm sitting down on my back porch
I don't know which way to go
The girl that I was so crazy about she don't love me anymore
Think I'm gonna catch a freight train, 'cause I'm feeling blue
Gonna ride it to the end of the line, thinking only of you

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
If she ever comes back to stay 
It's gonna be another brand new day
Walking with my baby by the San Francisco Bay, hey, hey, hey
Walking with my baby by the San Francisco Bay

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
If she ever comes back to stay 
It's gonna be another brand new day
Walking with my baby by the San Francisco Bay, hey, hey, hey
Walking with my baby by the San Francisco Bay

Walking with my baby by the Frisco Bay
