I got the blues for my baby Left me face down on the beach Crying drunk and crazy Lord oh Lord, I got the San Francisco Bay Baby Blues
Eyes as deep and blue as the ocean Why did you (s/he ) have to go and take a fool notion To leave me here With my San Francisco Bay Baby Blues
CHORUS
I got the San Francisco Bay Baby Blues My baby done left me with nothin' but some Sand in my shoes Cause on a moonlit stroll along the San Francisco Bay S/he told me that s/he'd love me Forever and a day But now s/he gone (sic) I got the San Francisco Bay Baby Blues (optional)
Just sitting here watchin' the breakers go by I got a good mind to jump off the bridge and die I got nothin' left to lose I got the San Francisco Bay Baby Blues (optional)
But I gotta find a way to quit this drinkin' Into a sea of despair I feel l'm sinkin' Down deep in my shoes I got the San Francisco Bay Baby Blues (optional)
Repeat chorus Somebody done told me but Lord it don't seem right They told me that they seen you with another (man) girl last night Lord, tell me it ain't true! I got the San Francisco Bay Baby Blues
When I got the new, I nearly broke down and cried
Taken in fro turning tricks on the corner of Turk and Hyde
Oh lord, it can't be true, no, no, no,mmmmmm

We met and fell in love in Dallas
But you called in quits down in Miami and I’m so blue
So I drove all the way back to Austin just to find out the awful truth
Texas just ain’t Texas without you
The Hill Country is just one sad old Prairie
And the bright lights of Houston no longer glow
And I dreamed they built a high-rise condo in the ghost town known as Terlingua
Texas just ain’t Texas anymore
CHORUS
I want to see the sunlight through the Chisos Mountains
Shining down on your raven hair once again
I want to make love just one more time ‘neath that crazy old Luckenbach moon
Come on back to Texas, please come back to Texas,
Maybe we can even fall in love again
Now I heard someone say you’re in New York City
What you’re doing there, God only knows
Maybe you decided to take another shot at Broadway yay yay
While I pour me another shot at home
(Chorus)

ELVIS
YOU KNOW I GREW UP WITH JESUS IN MY HOME
WITH HIM AND MAMA’S BIBLE, I NEVER FELT ALONE
BUT SLOWLY MY FAITH SEEMED TO SLIP AWAY
BUT NOW I SEE THE LIGHT AND I KNOW I’LL NEVER STRAY
ELVIS/CHORUS
I GOT MY HIGHER POWER BY MY SIDE
IN THIS LAND OF WOE AND IN THE SWEET BY AND BY
GOT MY HIGHER POWER HERE NEXT TO ME
THROUGH THIS VALE OF TEARS AND THROUGH ETERNITY
ELVIS
NOW I KNOW THAT I CAN RIGHT ALL THOSE I’VE WRONGED
I’VE MADE MY AMENDS I LEARNED TO BE STRONG
WITH JESUS BY MY SIDE, NOW I KNOW THE WAY
IN THE MORNING AND THE EVENING, EACH AND EV’RY DAY
ELVIS/CHORUS
I GOT MY HIGHER POWER BY MY SIDE
IN THIS LAND OF WOE AND IN THE SWEET BY AND BY
GOT MY HIGHER POWER HERE NEXT TO ME
THROUGH THIS VALE OF TEARS AND TO THE ROCK OF ETERNITY

I can almost see you walking away from me, leaving me
Girl, you can’t say you even tried
I can almost see you in his arms
And feel my rage inside
But love that never was
Can never die
Chorus
When you take that first step
Gonna be your last step
Honey, it’s a safe bet
You won’t be stepping round no more
Woman, when you walk out the door
You better move right fast
Ain’t no telling what a desperate man might do
And if I should see you in his arms
If he should cross my path
He may never see the day
That he plays your fool
Repeat Chorus

CHORUS
WILL OUR LOVE BECOME JUST A MEMORY
WASHED AWAY LIKE GRAINS OF SAND SWEPT INTO THE SEA
OR CAN WE FIND THAT OLE FASHION HARMONY
CAN WE TURN BACK THE PAGES
FIND LOVE LIKE IT USED TO BE
WE’RE STRANGERS IN OUR OWN BEDROOM
THEN YOU’RE ALWAYS MILES AWAY FROM ME
AND WHEN YOU FINALLY DO COME HOME
WE JUST BICKE R AND DISAGREE
WE GOTTA GET IT BACK TOGETHER
GET IT BACK IT BACK TO WHAT IT USED TO BE
OR I’M AFRAID WE’LL SON SEE
OUR LOVE WILL BE A MEMORY
THEY SAY NOTHING’S AS COLD AS ASHES
AFTER THE FIRE IS GONE
BUT I BELIEVE YOU STILL LOVE ME
YOU’RE NOT JUST STRINGING ME ALONG
WE GOTTA PICK UP THE PIECES
OR ELSE I’M AFRAID WE’LL SOON SEE
THAT THE LOVE THAT WE SHARED FOR SO MANY YEARS
IS NOW BUT A MEMORY
