I got those blues where my baby
Left me down by the Frisco Bay, yea-yea
An ocean liner came and took her away, yea-yea
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
Walkin' with my baby by the San Francisco Bay, hey hey hey
Walkin' with my baby by the San Francisco Bay

Well I'm sittin' 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'll take a freight train, cause I'm feelin' blue
I'm gonna ride it to the end of the line, thinkin' only of you!

I ain't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime
You know, she don't come back I think I'm gonna lose my mind
Oh, if she ever comes back to stay
It's gonna be another brand new day
Walkin' with my baby by the San Francisco Bay, hey hey hey
Walkin' with my baby down beside the San Francisco Bay
[Kazoo break]

Well, I ain't got a nickel, haven't got a lousy dime
She don't come back I think I might lose my mind
Oh, if she ever comes back to stay
It's gonna be another brand new day, hey
Walkin' with my baby by that San Francisco Bay, hey hey hey
Walkin' with my baby down beside the San Francisco Bay
Walkin' with my baby, by the 'Frisco Bay!
Hey hey hey
