I got the blues when my baby left me down by the Frisco Bay;
A F#m Cdim E E7
An ocean liner came and took her away.
A B7 E G#m C#m
I didn't mean to treat her bad, she was the best gal I ever had;
F#7
She said good-bye, made me cry,
B7 F#7 B7
Made me wanna lay down my head and die.
B7 E A Edim E E7
Well I ain't got a nickel, and I ain't got a lousy dime?,
A F#m Cdim G#7
She don't come back, I think I'm gonna lose my mind.
A B7 E G#7 C#7
She ever comes back to stay, it's gonna be another brand new day,
A B7 E Cdim B7
Walkin' with my baby by the San Francisco Bay.

Well, I'm sittin' here on the back porch, don't know which way to go;
A F#m G#7
The gal that I'm so crazy about, she don't love me anymore.
A Cdim F#m E G#m C#m
Think I'm gonna take a freight train, 'cause I'm feelin' blue,
F#7 C#m7/5- F#7 B7 F#7 B7
Gonna ride it to the end of the line, thinkin' only of you.
