I got the blues when my baby left me down by the Frisco Bay; 
    A          F#m      C?       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          E?   E     E7 
Well I ain't got a nickel, and I ain't got a lousy dime?, 
     A                 F#m             C?    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    C?  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              C?    F#m             E         G#m    C#m 
Think I'm gonna take a freight train, 'cause I'm feelin' blue, 
 F#7                C#m7(b5)      F#7   B7          F#7      B7 
Gonna ride it to the end of the line,    thinkin' only of you.
