[Verse]
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay
An ocean liner took so far away
Didn't mean to treat so bad
Best girl I ever has had
Said goodbye like to make me cry
Wanna lay down and die
Ain't got a nickel, ain't got a lousy dime
She don't come back, believe I'm gonna lose my mind
She ever comes back to stay
Be another brand new day
Walkin' with my baby down by San Francisco Bay
[Instrumental Break]

Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay
An ocean liner took so far away
Didn't mean to treat her so bad
Best girl I ever has had
Said goodbye like to make me cry
Wanna lay down and die
Ain't got a nickel, ain't got a lousy dime
She don't come back, believe I'm gonna lose my mind
She ever comes back to stay
Be another brand new day
Walkin' with my baby down by San Francisco Bay
[Outro]
Walking (walking, walking)
With my baby (with my baby)
Walkin' with my baby down by the day
Walkin' with my baby down by San Francisco Bay
