Sittin in the mornin sun 
I'll be sittin when 
the evenin comes 
Watchin the ships roll in 
Then I watch um roll 
away again 
Yeah i'm sittin on 
the dock of the bay 
watchin the tide roll 
a w a y 
Ooh ee 
Sittin on the dock of 
the bay wastin time 
Left my home in 
Georgia headed for 
the frisco bay 
I have nothin to live for 
Look like nothin 
gonna come my way 
So i'm just gonna sit 
on the dock of the bay 
Watchin the tide roll 
a w a y 
Ooh ee 
Sittin on the dock of 
the bay wastin time 
Look like nothing 
gonna change 
Everything still 
remains the same 
I can't do what ten 
people tell me to so 
I guess i'll remain 
the same 
Sittin here restin my 
bones and this 
lonelyness won't 
leave me alone 
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 
a w a y 
Ooh ee 
Sittin on the dock of 
the bay wastin time
