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)

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
