San Francisco Bay Lyrics

San Francisco Bay lyrics

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
