Sittin' in the mornin’ sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin’ come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch 'em
Roll away again, yeah
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh, 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’ve had nothing to live for
And look like nothin's
Gonna come my way
So I’m just gonna sit
On the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh, I'm sittin' on the
Dock of the bay
Wastin' time, time
Look like nothing’s
Ever gonna change
Why must everything
Remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same
Sittin' here resting my bones
Cause his loneliness
Won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home
Oh, I'm just gonna sit
At the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Sittin' on the
Dock of the bay
Wastin' time
