Lyrics San Francisco Bay Blues - Jim Croce

San Francisco Bay Blues

I got the blues from my baby left me by the San Francisco Bay
That ocean liner took her so far away
Well I didn’t mean to treat you so bad, you were the best gal I ever, ever had
Oh, you said goodbye, made me cry, I want to lay down and die
Cause I haven’t got a nickel and I ain’t got a lousy dime
She don’t come back I believe I’m gonna lose my mind
If you ever come back to stay, it’s going to be another brand new day
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay
Well I’m 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
Gonna catch me a freight train cause I’m feeling blue
I’m gonna ride all the way to the end of the line thinking only of you Pretty
Mama
Meanwhile, in another city, I’ll be just about to go insane
Sounds like I heard my baby cry the way she used to call my name.
If you’re ever coming back to stay, its gonnna be another brand new day,
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay
