by Jesse FULLER
C F C C7
I got the Blues for my baby down beside the San Francisco bay,
F C C7
An ocean-liner took her so far away.
F G
I didn't mean it treat me so bad,
C Am
She was the best girl I ever ever had.
F G7
She said goodbye, she like to make me cry, gonna lay down my
head and die.
C F C C7
I ain't got a nickel and ain't got a lousy time.
F Em7 Em
She don't come back I thing I'm gonna loose my mind,
F G7 C Am
She ever come back to stay, it's gonna be another brand new day.
F G C G
Walking with my baby down beside the San Francisco bay.
C F C F C C7
I'm sittin' here by my back door, I wounder which way to go.
F C C7

F G7 C Am
Think I'll take me a freight train, cause I'm feelin' blues.
F G7
Ride all the way to the end of the line thinking only at you.
