[ti:San Francisco Bay Blues] [ar:The Staple Singers] [al:Vanguard Visionaries] [offset:0] [00:00.00]San Francisco Bay Blues - The Staple Singers [00:11.92]I got the blues from my baby left me by the San Francisco Bay, [00:14.73] [00:17.60]The ocean liner's gone so far away. [00:18.00] [00:22.19]Didn't mean to treat her so bad, she was the best girl I ever have had, [00:27.27]She said goodbye, I can take a cry, I want to lay down and die. [00:32.45]I ain't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime. [00:34.76] [00:37.63]She don't come back, think I'm going to lose my mind. [00:40.37] [00:42.56]If she ever gets back to stay, it's going to be another brand new day, [00:46.93] [00:47.99]Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay. [00:50.29] [01:13.26]Sitting down looking from my back door, [01:15.98]Wondering which way to go, [01:17.10] [01:19.04]The woman I'm so crazy about, she don't love me no more. [01:22.34] [01:23.65]Think I'll catch me a freight train, 'cause I'm feeling blue, [01:27.20] [01:28.77]And ride all the way to the end of the line, thinking only of you. [01:32.32] [01:33.76]Meanwhile, in another city, [01:34.88] [01:36.44]Just about to go insane, [01:37.50] [01:38.88]Thought I heard my baby, Lord, the way she used to call my name. [01:43.93]If I ever get her back to stay, it's going to be another brand new day, [01:48.11] [01:49.36]Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay, [01:51.67] [01:54.36]Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay, [01:56.91] [01:59.35]Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay.
