San Francisco Bay Blues

 In the mid-60s, when I was seeing a lot of Ramblin' Jack Elliott shows in Southern Californis, I noticed he always opened the show with San Francisco Bay Blues.

The song was written by a SF legend, the one-man band Jesse "Lone Cat" Fuller. Fuller once remarked that far from "stealing" the song, Elliott was making him rich.

Here are both versions.
