I got the blue
s from my baby

e San Francisc
o Bay
That ocean lin
er took her so
far away
Well I didn't
mean to treat
you so bad, yo
u were the bes
t gal I ever,
ever had
Oh, you said g
oodbye, made m
e cry, I want
to lay down an
d die
Cause I haven'
t got a nickel
and I ain't g
ot a lousy dim
e
She don't come
back I believ
e I'm gonna lo
se my mind
If you ever co
me back to sta
y, it's going
to be another
brand new day
Walking with m
y baby down by
the San Franc
isco Bay
Well I'm sitti
ng down lookin
g from my back
door
Wondering whic
h way to go
The woman I'm
so crazy about
, she don't lo
ve me no more
Gonna catch me
a freight tra
in cause I'm f
eeling blue
I'm gonna ride
all the way t
o the end of t
he line thinki
ng only of you
Pretty Mama
Meanwhile, in
another city,
I'll be just a
bout to go ins
ane
Sounds like I
heard my baby
cry the way sh
e used to call
my name
If you're ever
coming back t
o stay, its go
nnna be anothe
r brand new da
