San Francisco Bay Blues
Heartbreak by the Bay: Peter, Paul and Mary's San Francisco Blues
Lyrics
I got those blues where my baby
I am experiencing sadness because my significant other has left me.
Left me down by the Frisco Bay, yeah yeah
She left me near San Francisco Bay.
An ocean liner came and took her away, yeah yeah
An ocean liner took her away.
I didn't mean to treat her bad
I didn't intend to mistreat her.
She was the best friend I ever had
She was the best friend I ever had.
She said goodbye, she made me cry
She said goodbye, causing me to cry.
She made me wanna lay down my head and die
Her departure made me feel so devastated that I wanted to lay down and die.
Ain't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime
I don't have any money.
She don't come back I think I'm gonna lose my mind
If she doesn't return, I fear I will lose my sanity.
If she ever comes back to stay, she's gonna be another brand new day
If she returns, it will be a fresh start.
Walkin' with my baby by the San Francisco Bay hey hey hey
Imagining a positive future with my baby walking in San Francisco Bay.
Walkin' with my baby by the San Francisco Bay
Reiterating the joy of walking with my baby by San Francisco Bay.
Well I'm sittin' down on my back porch
Contemplating my situation while sitting on the back porch.
I don't know which way to go
Feeling lost and unsure of what to do.
The girl that I was so crazy about she don't love me anymore
The girl I loved no longer reciprocates my feelings.
Think I'm gonna catch a freight train, cause I'm feelin' blue
Considering catching a freight train due to my emotional state.
Gonna ride it to the end of the line, thinkin' only of you
Planning to ride the train, thinking only of my lost love.
Ain't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime
Expressing financial hardship without any money.
She don't come back I think I'm gonna lose my mind
Fearing the loss of my sanity if she doesn't return.
If she ever comes back to stay, she's gonna be another brand new day
If she comes back, it will mark a new and positive beginning.
Walkin' with my baby by the San Francisco Bay hey hey hey
Envisioning a happy future walking with my baby in San Francisco Bay.
Walkin' with my baby down beside the San Francisco Bay
Repeating the joy of walking with my baby by San Francisco Bay.
Hey, ain't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime
Reiterating financial difficulties.
You know if she don't come back I think I'm gonna lose my mind
Expressing concern about losing sanity without her.
Well, if she ever comes back to stay, it's gonna be another brand new day
If she returns, it will bring a positive change.
Walkin' with my baby by the San Francisco Bay hey hey hey
Imagining a happy future walking with my baby in San Francisco Bay.
Walkin' with my baby down beside the San Francisco Bay
Reiterating the joy of walking with my baby by San Francisco Bay.
Walkin' with my baby, by the Frisco Bay
Recalling the location where my baby left me, emphasizing Frisco Bay.
