"The New SF Bay Blues" lyrics

"The New SF Bay Blues"

I got the blues for my baby, left me by the San Francisco Bay
Said I got the blues for my baby, left me by the San Francisco Bay, 'cisco Bay
And there was nothing I could do or say
Oh, just hang my head, slowly walk away
Hey, hey

Well, so long, pretty baby, guess I won't see you for a while
Oh, so long, pretty baby, guess I won't see you for a while
You been a good old wagon, you got me there in style
Oh, but you left me here to walk a ragged mile
Hey, hey

Well, a woman's heart, it's made of solid rock
Oh, a woman's heart, it's made of solid rock, solid rock
And if you love her, she'll give you all she's got
Oh, and buddy, that can be an awful lot
Hey, hey

I'm just a-rollin' and a-tumblin', tryin' to make it out of here alive
I'm just a-rollin' and a-tumblin', tryin' to make it out of here alive
And if I'm lucky, I might feel satisfied
Mmm, hey, hey

I got the blues for my baby, left me by the San Francisco Bay
Said I got the blues for my baby, left me by the San Francisco Bay, 'cisco Bay
And there was nothing I could do or say
Oh, just hang my head, slowly walk away
Hey, hey
