Schwa Lyrics

San Francisco Bay Blues

Lyricist: Hot Tuna
Vocalist: Steve Sweney

I got the blues for my baby 
Down beside the San Francisco Bay 
Big ocean liner, took her so far away 
Well I didn't mean to treat her so bad 
She was the best girl I ever had 
She said goodbye, gonna make me cry 
Gonna make me lay right down and die 

Well I ain't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime 
If she don't come back I think I'm gonna lose my mind 
If she ever comes back to stay 
Its gonna be another brand new day 
Walking with my baby down beside the San Francisco Bay 

Sitting down looking from my back door 
Wonder which way to go 
Woman I'm so crazy about 
She don't love me no more 
Think I'm gonna take a freight train 
Cause I'm feeling blue 
Ride all the way to the end of the line 
Thinking, sweet baby, of you 

Back in another city 
Think I'm gonna go insane 
Sounds like I heard my baby 
The way she used to call my name 
If she ever comes back to stay 
Its gonna be another brand new day 
Walking with my baby down beside the San Francisco Bay
