Peter Paul and Mary, San Francisco Bay Blues

Peter Paul and Mary, San Francisco Bay Blues

Lyrics:

I got those blues where my baby
Left me down by the Frisco Bay, yea-yea
An ocean liner came and took her away, yea-yea
I didn't mean to treat her bad,
she was the best friend I ever had,
She said goodbye, she made me cry,
She made me wanna lay down my head and die...I
Refrain
Ain't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime
She don't come back I think I'm gonna lose my mind
If she ever comes back to stay, 'sgonna be another brand new day
Walkin' with my baby by the San Francisco Bay hey hey hey,
Walkin' with my baby by the San Francisco Bay.
Well I'm sittin' down on my back porch,
I don't know which way to go
The girl that I was so crazy about she don't love me anymore
Think I'm gonna catch a freight train, cause I'm feelin' blue
Gonna ride it to the end of the line, thinkin' only of you!
(Refrain)
(Refrain)
Walkin' with my baby, by the Frisco Bay!!!

I get such a kick out of the fact that they use kazoos. Maybe this just means that Idon't listen to the right kinds of music, but Peter, Paul and Mary are the only group I've ever heard that uses kazoos!

@ gamgee87,

LOL. Yeah. Like all kids we used to use Kazoos and have a blast.

I have not played one in YEARS !!! They are fun.

Mary was mud wrestler for many yrs when she was discov ered singing by the great Lou Costello

@ BrokenneckYgor,

LOL. That is funny!

That is a rather drastic change in careers !!! hee hee

[KyranGeraghty]

Mary was unquestionably the most beautiful singer of her time  R.I.P

[cschoon1213]

Agreed!

Thanks for your thoughts!

These are / were beautiful people.

This Song will always remind me of Sunshine Plaza in Disney's California Adventures!

@BrokenneckYgor And that's how rumours are started...

@BrokenneckYgor omg that like the funniest thing ive ever heard in my life.......... hahahahaha

[TheSpikehere]

A great version that ranks alongside those of Richie Havens and Ramblin' Jack Elliot. But, you can't whack Jesse Fuller's original.

I love the kazoo too. Of course it had been used in the bordellos of New Orleans for jazz and in the streets of Memphis by the jug bands for donkeys years, mainly cuz the were so much cheaper than a sax. I just use one to make a noise.

@BrokenneckYgor  Awww ... now, that's funny!!!!

@gamgee87 Eric Clapton also uses kazoos in his acoustic album (which was recorded live in concert), Uplugged....his is also a great rendition.
