San Francisco Bay Blues (Live) - Janis Joplin
Written by:JESSE FULLER
Got the blues from my baby
Left me by the san francisco bay
This big ocean liner took her so far away
Didn't mean to treat her so bad
She was the best girl I ever have had
She said good bye and she made me cry
I'm gonna 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
Well that'll be another brand new day
Walking with my baby down by the san francisco bay
Sittin' in my back door
Wondering which way to go
That woman I'm so crazy about
She don't love me no more
Lord I think I'll grab a freight train
Because I'm feeling blue
Ride all the way to the end of the line
Thinking only about you
Well meanwhile in another city
Just about to go insane
Thought I heard my baby
The way she used called my name
If she ever comin' back to stay
Well that'll be another brand new day
Walking with my baby down by the san francisco bay
I really mean it
Oh walking with my baby down by the san francisco bay whew
