(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay

                                  Sittin' in the mornin' sun 

I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes 

Watchin' the ships roll in 

Then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah 

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay 

Watchin' the tide roll away, ooo

I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay 

Wastin' time 



I left my home in Georgia 

Headed for the Frisco Bay 

'Cause I had nothin' to live for 

It look like nothin's gonna come my way 

So I'm just goin' sittin' on the dock of the bay 

Watchin' the tide roll away, ooo 

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time 



Look like nothin's gonna change 

Everything, still remains the same 

I can't do what ten people tell me to do 

So I guess I'll remain the same 



Sittin' here restin' my bones

And this loneliness won't leave me alone, yes 

Two thousand miles, I roam 

Just to make this dock my home 

Now I'm just gonna sit, on the dock of the bay 

Watchin' the tide roll away, ooo yea 

Sittin' on the dock of the bay 

Wastin' time
