Clapton, Eric - San Francisco Bay Blues Lyrics






I got the blues from my baby left me by the San Francisco Bay,
The ocean liner's gone so far away.
Didn't mean to treat her so bad, she was the best girl I ever have had,
She said goodbye, I can take a cry, I want to lay down and die.

I ain't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime.
She don't come back, think I'm going to lose my mind.
If she ever gets back to stay, it's going to be another brand new day,
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay.

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.
Think I'll catch me a freight train, 'cause I'm feeling blue,
And ride all the way to the end of the line, thinking only of you.

Meanwhile, in another city, just about to go insane,
Thought I heard my baby, Lord, the way she used to call my name.
If I ever get her back to stay, it's going to be another brand new day,
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay.

Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay.
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay.

  16. B.... r....

    I feel that the kazoo ruins the song

    B.... r....

    Take it up with Jesse Fuller - he played kazoo on his original version.

  28. J.... G....

    One of the best of an amazing set

    J.... G....

    +Joe Gariano ... Indeed.. but watch the last song of the concert... "Rollin and Tumblin"... and look for Ray Cooper, the percussionist, and the way he steals the show from Clapton. Clapton told him to 'cut loose' and see what the audience would do. They were so 'into' Cooper that Clapton looked around and told him, "What did I tell you?" ... Ray has been with him for over 35 years. What a wonderful way to highlight a friend !!!!

  29. C.... W....

    happy birthday Eric Clapton

  31. C.... T....

  34. T.... R....

    Written by the Late, Great Jessie Fuller. A one man band from the streets of San Francisco.
