(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay Lyrics

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, yes



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, at the dock of the bay

Watchin' the tide roll away, ooo yea

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time (whistle)
