The New SF Bay Blues
Heartbreak by the Bay: Hurray for the Riff Raff's Melancholic Tale
Lyrics
I got the blues for my baby
I am feeling sorrowful for my partner
Left me by the San Francisco Bay
My partner has left me near the San Francisco Bay
Said, I got the blues for my baby
Expressing sadness for the departure of my partner
Left me by the San Francisco Bay, 'Cisco Bay
Reiterating the fact that my partner left me near the San Francisco Bay
And there was nothing I could do or say
I was helpless, unable to change the situation
Or just hang my head, slowly walk away
Contemplating the situation, feeling defeated, considering walking away
Hey, hey
Expression of sorrow or realization
Well, so long pretty baby
Bidding farewell to my beautiful partner
guess I won't see you for a while
Expecting not to see my partner for a considerable time
Oh, so long pretty baby
Repeating the sentiment of parting with my partner
guess I won't see you for a while
Anticipating a prolonged separation
You've been a good old wagon
Complimenting my partner for being reliable and dependable
You got me there in style
Expressing gratitude for my partner's stylish companionship
Oh, but you left me here to walk a ragged mile
Feeling abandoned and left to endure a difficult journey
Hey, hey
Reiteration of sorrow or realization
Well, a women's heart
Describing the toughness of a woman's heart
it's made of solid rock
Emphasizing the resilience and firmness of a woman's heart
Oh, a women's heart
Reaffirming the solid nature of a woman's heart
it's made of solid rock, solid rock
Highlighting the unyielding quality of a woman's heart
And if you love her
If you love a woman, she will give her all
She'll give you all she's got
Emphasizing a woman's capacity for wholehearted giving
Oh, and buddy, that can be an awful lot
Cautioning that a woman's all can be a substantial commitment
Hey, hey
Expression of sorrow or realization
I'm just a-rolling and a-tumbling
Struggling and striving to survive
trying to make out of here alive
Continuing to face challenges and hardships
I'm just a-rolling and a-tumbling
Persisting through difficulties to escape alive
trying to make out of here alive
Enduring challenges in the hope of survival
And if I'm lucky, I might feel satisfied
If fortunate, there might be satisfaction in the end
Hmm, hmm, hey, hey
Expression of satisfaction or realization
I got the blues for my baby
Reiterating the feeling of sorrow for my partner
Left me by the San Francisco Bay
My partner has left me near the San Francisco Bay
Said, I got the blues for my baby
Expressing sadness for the departure of my partner
Left me by the San Francisco Bay, 'Cisco Bay
Reiterating the fact that my partner left me near the San Francisco Bay
And there was nothing I could do or say
I was helpless, unable to change the situation
Or just hang my head, slowly walk away
Contemplating the situation, feeling defeated, considering walking away
Hey, hey
Expression of sorrow or realization
