[00:00.00] Eric Clapton - San Francisco Bay Blues
[00:01.00]
[00:26.70] I got the blues from my baby left me by the San Francisco Bay,
[00:32.77] The ocean liner's gone so far away.
[00:38.83] Didn't mean to treat her so bad, she was the best girl I ever have had,
[00:44.66] She said goodbye, I can take a cry, I want to lay down and die.
[00:49.78]
[00:50.59] I ain't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime.
[00:56.39] She don't come back, think I'm going to lose my mind.
[01:02.32] If she ever gets back to stay, it's going to be another brand new day,
[01:08.33] Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay.
[01:12.55]
[02:01.72] Sitting down looking from my back door,
[02:04.42] Wondering which way to go,
[02:07.34] The woman I'm so crazy about, she don't love me no more.
[02:13.28] Think I'll catch me a freight train, 'cause I'm feeling blue,
[02:19.16] And ride all the way to the end of the line, thinking only of you.
[02:24.18]
[02:25.10] Meanwhile, in another city,
[02:28.11] Just about to go insane,
[02:31.33] Thought I heard my baby, Lord, the way she used to call my name.
[02:36.76] If I ever get her back to stay, it's going to be another brand new day,
[02:42.78] Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay,
[02:48.69] Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay,
[02:54.28] Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay.
