San Francisco Bay Blues (Cazenovia College 1964) - Jim Croce

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
