Sittin' in the mornin' sun I'll be sittin' when the evening come Watchin' the ships roll in And then I'll watch 'em roll away again, yeah I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Watchin' 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 nothin' to live for It looks like nothing's gonna come my way So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay Watchin' the tide roll away Ooh I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time
Looks like nothing'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
Just sittin' here restin' my bones And this loneliness won't leave me alone Listen, 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 Ooh wee I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time
